our work describing the adaptation of the cdc rt-qpcr assay for use with alternative qiagen rna extraction kits, as well as as the rna extraction step entirely is live on biorxiv.
to address this issue, we tested the unconventional approach of skipping the rna extraction step altogether and directly loading patient swab material into the rt-qpcr mix.", "we hypothesized that sars- cov-2 rna could be detected from np samples via a direct rt-qpcr assay that omits the rna extraction step altogether, and tested this hypothesis on a series of blinded clinical samples.")
