Comparable viral RNA detection sensitivity and specificity were obtained by fluorescent and colorimetric reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) using a primer set targeting the N gene, as well as RT-qPCR using a primer set targeting the E gene, showing that the RNA extraction protocol presented here can be combined with a variety of detection methods at high throughput. Here, we show that the magnetic bead-based protocol yields RNA extracts comparable to the commercially available QIAcube viral RNA extraction kit, as determined by the commonly applied detection methods RT-qPCR and reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) [16] . ./cache/cord-328042-e1is656g.txt ./txt/cord-328042-e1is656g.txt
