Abstract

The epidemy of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and its global spread urgently requires efficient means for rapid diagnosis, as well as detection in various environments (aside from clinical laboratories), such as airplanes, schools, potential animal carriers, etc. We have previously devised a colorimetric method to detect specific pathogen sequences using Rolling Circle Amplification (RCA) which could potentially be used for "on site" virus detection.
