  • Publication number: 20230149928
    Abstract: Devices and methods for the detection of nucleic acids (e.g., RNA, DNA) are described. The nucleic acid can be obtained or derived from a pathogen, such as a virus. In one embodiment, the virus is a coronavirus (e.g., SARS-CoV-2) related to the disease COVID-19. Accordingly, devices and methods may be used in the field as point-of-care devices to test a subject (e.g., a patient) for the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus or another nucleic acid.
