The lower temperature level in RPA increases the threat of nonspecific amplification, so Merkx looked for a sensitive service.”The beauty of bioluminescence is its simplicity,” stated Merkx. The team evaluated this platform on COVID-19 samples and identified SARS-CoV-2 RNA within 30 minutes.
The lower temperature level in RPA increases the risk of nonspecific amplification, so Merkx sought a delicate service.”The beauty of bioluminescence is its simplicity,” said Merkx. The group split luciferase, an enzyme that produces bioluminescence, in between 2 dCas9 proteins. The group checked this platform on COVID-19 samples and identified SARS-CoV-2 RNA within 30 minutes.
