Abstract

We report the development of an electrochemical sensor platform for ultrasensitive and rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA that integrates loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), CRISPR-based detection, and anti-fouling nanocomposite coating. By integrating LAMP amplification with CRISPR, we achieved ultrasensitive detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA at levels as low as 5 copies µL-1. Data from this electrochemical diagnostic platform was comparable to traditional RT-PCR methodology in a fraction of the time, at low cost, and without requiring laboratory space.
