RESUMO
The COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 has underscored the need for rapid and accurate diagnostic methods. Reverse Transcription Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (RT-LAMP) has emerged as a promising molecular tool in least developed countries due to its simplicity, speed, and sensitivity. Nevertheless, reliable SARS-CoV-2 detection can be challenged by the chain custody of the samples. In this context, carrier RNA can act as a preservative. In this study, we explored the potential of yeast total and transference RNA (tRNA) in the SARS-CoV-2 RT-LAMP. We have found that most optimal conditions are reached with 1 µg/µL tRNA in the RT-LAMP reaction.
