Performance of Reverse Transcription Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (RT-LAMP) Targeting the RNA Polymerase Gene for the Direct Detection of SARS-CoV2 in Nasopharyngeal Swabs.In 2020, a global pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 was declared.  This study aims to validate and standardize the use of a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP)-based methodology targeting the viral RP gene, as a faster and low-cost diagnostic method for SARS-CoV-2 infections.  The RT-LAMP targeting the RP viral region is faster and less expensive than other molecular approaches, making it an alternative for developing countries.
