Rapid, reliable, and cheap point-of-care bulk testing for SARS-CoV-2 by combining hybridization capture with improved colorimetric LAMP (Cap-iLAMP) 2020-08-06 .txt text/plain 4761 307 55 Here we describe a method to detect SARS-CoV-2 RNA of a single infected individual within a bulk sample comprised of up to 26 individual patient samples by combining a hybridizationcapture-based RNA extraction approach with smartphone app-assisted colorimetric detection of RT-LAMP products, a procedure that can be performed in less than one hour ( Figure 1A) . To investigate whether it is possible to detect single infected individuals in pools of gargle lavage samples, we created eleven pools of 25 patient samples each, all of which had been tested negative in RT-qPCR assay and in the Cap-iLAMP assays for the Orf1a and the N gene ( Figure 2D ). All tested gargle lavages from single healthy individuals (n=6) and 11 pools of 25 healthy individuals (n=275) correctly tested negative for both the Orf1a gene and N gene in the Cap-iLAMP assay ( Figure 2C and E), indicating that false positive results which were sometimes observed when samples are added directly into the iLAMP reaction (Supp. ./cache/cord-297974-sduz0j35.txt ./txt/cord-297974-sduz0j35.txt
