By: Taiwan Advanced Nanotech Inc (TANBead) PCR, while being a highly reliable method, takes a lot of time to amplify samples. The method involves 30-40 cycles of denaturation- Based on RT-LAMP (Real Time-Loop Mediated Isothermal Amplification) Specifically designed for SARS-CoV-2 detection, TANBead's RT-LAMP kit has been proven to be able to detect positive samples in less than 30 minutes. The kit can detect the presence of COVID-19 virus even from samples with only 10 copies of viral RNA. Strongly positive samples (containing ~107 copies of virus) can generate results as fast as 10 minutes, faster than PCR-based kits. Samples can be obtained from saliva, blood serum, urine, or swabs. The kit is also supported with fluorescent signals, enabling real-time detection for quantitative measurement. This product is expected to be available in June 2022. With kits that could reduce the SARS-CoV-2 amplification time, a laboratory would be able to increase their diagnostic capacity, improve their time and energy allocation. With better resources allotment as such, coping with COVID-19 will be easier and more widely available for everyone. Visit TANBead at https://www.tanbead.com End
