Author(s): Zachary P Morehouse*, Caleb M Proctor, Gabriella L Ryan and Rodney J Nash
The global COVID-19 pandemic has driven rapid innovation in everything from therapeutics to diagnostics
surrounding SARS-CoV-2 infections, while highlighting the need for cost efficient and accessible developments in
these fields. Novel innovation that increases access to diagnostic testing in resource limited areas is still critical in
supporting the response to COVID-19. In this manuscript we discuss the applications of a direct-to-PCR approach for
SARS-CoV-2 detection which may serve as a viable option for addressing the need of rapid and accurate diagnostics
in resource limited communities... View More»
