The COVID-19 pandemic is challenging the global supply chain and equipment needed for mass testing with RT-qPCR, the gold standard for SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis. Here, we propose the RT-LAMP assay as an additional strategy for rapid virus diagnosis. However, its validation as a diagnostic method remains uncertain. In this work, we validated the RT-LAMP assay in 1,266 nasopharyngeal swab samples with confirmed diagnosis by CDC 2019-nCoV RT-qPCR. Our cohort was divided, the first (n=984) was used to evaluate two sets of oligonucleotides (S1 and S3) and the second (n=281) to determine whether RT-LAMP could detect samples with several types of variants. This assay can identify positive samples by color change or fluorescence within 40 minutes and shows high concordance with RT-qPCR in samples with CT ≤35. Also, S1 and S3 are able to detect SARS-CoV-2 with a sensitivity of 68.4% and 65.8%, and a specificity of 98.9% and 97.1%, respectively. Furthermore, RT-LAMP assay identified 279 sequenced samples as positive (99.3% sensitivity) corresponding to the Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, Iota, Kappa, Lambda, Mu and Omicron variants. In conclusion, RT-LAMP is able to identify SARS-CoV-2 with good sensitivity and excellent specificity, including all VOC, VOI, VUM and FMV variants. | |
