Limit of detection of the two different RT-LAMP formats and of RT-PCR. (A) A known number of copies of in vitro transcribed (IVT) viral RNA (N-gene) were amplified and detected by colorimetric RT-LAMP using the (i) WarmStart Colorimetric LAMP 2 × Master Mix (New England Biolabs) or (ii) the separate components (enzymes purchased individually and an in-house-made colorimetric buffer). The reactions were incubated at 65 °C for 30 min. (B) 10 μL of the RT-LAMP reaction were resolved in an agarose gel (2%) electrophoresis. The ladder pattern corresponds to the expected LAMP amplification pattern. (C) Limit of detection of ten replicates of the two test formats. (D) Standard curve generated by plotting the number of IVT RNA copies (x-axis) vs. the mean of the corresponding RT-PCR threshold cycle (Ct) value (y-axis) of three independent experiments (Original gel images in Fig. S1).
