The simplest method to detect SARS-CoV-2, RT-LAMP is performed by inactivating the sample, assembling a reaction mixture and adding the sample to this mix. The samples are incubated at 63 degrees Celsius for 35 minutes and a color change from purple to blue indicates a positive result of the reaction. Low reagent cost, low consumption of consumables but still sensitive enough to safely identify infectious people.
