ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic brought to light the impact of a widespread disease on various aspects of human relationships, communities, and economies. One notable consequence was the increased demand for diagnostic kits, laboratory reagents, and personal health equipment. This surge in testing capacity worldwide led to shortages in the supply of essential items, including RNA extraction kits, which are crucial for detecting COVID-19 infections. To address this scarcity, researchers have proposed alternative and cost-effective strategies for RNA extraction, utilizing both chemical and physical solutions and extraction-free methods. These approaches aim to alleviate the challenges associated with the overwhelming number of tests being conducted in laboratories. The purpose of this review is intends to provide a comprehensive summary of the various kit-free RNA extraction methods available for COVID-19 diagnosis during the pandemic.
