Abstract

SARS CoV-2 a highly infectious coronavirus that has never been found in humans before. RT-PCR tests require well-equipped laboratories and skilled personnel. Since many COVID-19 infected individuals are reported negative in the commonly used RT-PCR test. we are addressing the need for a rapid, reliable, point-of-care molecular diagnostics with higher sensitivity assay: Closed-Tube SN-RAMP Assay Device for detection of SARS CoV-2. The assay will be used in the hospitals, clinics and at ports of entry and even at patient home because this would require minimally trained personnel without a need for sophisticated equipment.
