Analytical sensitivity of an in-house-made colorimetric RT-LAMP assay. Tenfold dilutions of in vitro transcribed (IVT) viral RNA (N-gene) were amplified via RT-LAMP and detected using a colorimetric buffer together with (A) RTx (New England Biolabs) and Bst LF (homemade), (B) MashUP RT (homemade) and Bst 2.0 (New England Biolabs) or (C) MashUP RT (homemade) and Bst LF (homemade). The in-house-made setup was next used to detect SARS-CoV-2 sequences in (D) RNAs extracted from the NP fluid (NPF) and (E) saliva samples of COVID-19 positive patients. The reactions were incubated at 65 °C for 30 min. In (D) and (E) the Cts (N gene) obtained for the paired NP samples are indicated. NTC no template control, HD healthy donor. Figures are representative of three independent experiments.
