A Direct Method for RT-PCR Detection of SARS-CoV-2 in Clinical Samples

Sherif A. El-Kafrawy et al.

Summary: This study optimized a protocol for direct RT-PCR detection of SARS-CoV-2 without the need for nucleic acid extraction, showing 100% concordance with the standard protocol with an average Ct value difference of 4.38 for the E region and 3.85 for the RdRp region. The direct PCR technique was found to be a reliable and sensitive method that can reduce time and cost while enabling wider use for screening in regions with limited economic resources and supplies.
