METHOD AND KIT FOR THE DETECTION OF SARS-COV-2 VIRUS IN A SAMPLE BASED ON REVERSE TRANSCRIPTION LOOP-MEDIATED ISOTHERMAL AMPLIFICATION (RT-LAMP)

摘要

The present invention is directed to a method for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 virus (COVID19 virus) based on reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) designed to amplify specifically a sequence of SARS-CoV- 2 gene fragment using a set of specially designed RT-LAMP primers. The present invention also relates to a kit for specifically detecting said sequence of of SARS-CoV- 2 gene fragment comprising the set of specially designed RT-LAMP primers according to the present invention.
