Ultrasensitive and fast detection of SARS-CoV-2 using RT-LAMP without pH-dependent dye.

This study investigates the performance of reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) assay for the colorimetric detection of SARS-CoV-2 using fluorometric dye, namely, calcein. The detection limit (LoD) with the N-ID1 primer set resulted in superior performance, corresponding to ~ 2 copies/reaction or ~ 0.1 copies/μL of the RNA sample.

Multiplex real-time RT-PCR method for the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 by targeting viral N, RdRP and human RP genes.

Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). This pandemic has brought the world to a standstill and threatened human lives. Many methods are known to date to detect this virus.

Evaluation of the Idylla KRAS and NRAS mutation test in colorectal cancer tissue.

Introduction: The currently approved techniques for RAS mutations testing in colorectal cancer (CRC) tissue are labor-intensive and time consuming. The Idylla technology (IT) is a rapid and fully automated diagnostics system. The primary aim of this study is to compare the Idylla performance against that of conventional techniques (CT).
