Abstract Introduction/Objective Since the start of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, molecular diagnostic testing for detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has faced substantial supply chain shortages and noteworthy delays in result reporting after sample collection. Supply chain shortages have been most evident in reagents for RNA extraction and rapid diagnostic testing. In this study, we explored the kinetic limitations of extraction-free rapid cycle RT-qPCR for SARS-CoV-2 virus detection using the commercially available capillary based LightCycler. Methods/Case Report We optimized reverse transcription and PCR under extraction-free and rapid thermocycling conditions utilizing hydrolysis probe-based detection methods using a Roche LightCycler. Results (if a Case Study enter NA) This protocol improves detection speed while maintaining the sensitivity and specificity of hydrolysis probe-based detection. Percentage agreement between the developed assay and previously tested positive patient samples was 97.6% (n= 40/41) and negative patient samples was 100% (40/40). We further demonstrate that using purified RNA, SARS-CoV-2 testing using extreme RT-PCR and product verification by melting can be completed in less than 3 minutes. Conclusion We developed a protocol for sensitive and specific RT-qPCR of SARS-CoV-2 RNA from nasopharyngeal swabs in less than 20 minutes, with minimal hands-on time requirements. Overall, these studies provide a framework for increasing the speed of SARS-CoV-2 and other infectious disease testing.

      In the previous paper, we had succeeded in developing an early detection system of dengue viruses using Sugar liganded Gold Nano Particle (SGNP) only from 6 μL serum. It has been reported that dengue virus is also detected in the saliva and urine of the patient. The evidences lead to the possibility of developing non-invasive methods of dengue virus detection. In this in vitro study, we evaluated the utility of SGNP to capture and concentrate dengue virion in 10% saliva solution. The results showed that dengue virion was successfully detected in 10% of saliva solution. Analysis of virion stability during storage showed that virions in salivary samples were stable up to 3 days at temperature wherease the RNA has significantly degraded. Although still a preliminary study, the data obtained show the prospect of SGNP as a non-invasive dengue virus detection method, as well as the development of POC (Point of Care) method. Clinical trials using saliva from dengue viruses infected patients need to be done to prove the effectiveness of the SGNP method.

AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic provides an urgent example where a gap exists between availability of state-of-the-art diagnostics and current needs. As assay details and primer sequences become widely known, many laboratories could perform diagnostic tests using methods such as RT-PCR or isothermal RT-LAMP amplification. A key advantage of RT-LAMP based approaches compared to RT-PCR is that RT-LAMP is known to be robust in detecting targets from unprocessed samples. In addition, RT-LAMP assays are performed at a constant temperature enabling speed, simplicity, and point-of-use testing. Here, we provide the details of an RT-LAMP isothermal assay for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 virus with performance comparable to currently approved tests using RT-PCR. We characterize the assay by introducing swabs in virus spiked synthetic nasal fluids, moving the swab to viral transport medium (VTM), and using a volume of that VTM for performing the amplification without an RNA extraction kit. The assay has a Limit-of-Detection (LOD) of 50 RNA copies/μL in the VTM solution within 20 minutes, and LOD of 5000 RNA copies/μL in the nasal solution. Additionally, we show the utility of this assay for real-time point-of-use testing by demonstrating detection of SARS-CoV-2 virus in less than 40 minutes using an additively manufactured cartridge and a smartphone-based reader. Finally, we explore the speed and cost advantages by comparing the required resources and workflows with RT-PCR. This work could accelerate the development and availability of SARS-CoV-2 diagnostics by proving alternatives to conventional laboratory benchtop tests.Significance StatementAn important limitation of the current assays for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 stem from their reliance on time- and labor-intensive and laboratory-based protocols for viral isolation, lysis, and removal of inhibiting materials. While RT-PCR remains the gold standard for performing clinical diagnostics to amplify the RNA sequences, there is an urgent need for alternative portable platforms that can provide rapid and accurate diagnosis, potentially at the point-of-use. Here, we present the details of an isothermal amplification-based detection of SARS-CoV-2, including the demonstration of a smartphone-based point-of-care device that can be used at the point of sample collection.
