Rapid identification of SARS-CoV-2 in the point-of-care using digital PCR-based Dr. PCR™ Di20K COVID-19 Detection Kit without viral RNA extraction.

Here, we propose that the dPCR-based Dr. PCR™ Di20K COVID-19 Detection Kit has the advantages of the dPCR method reported in the previous study and is suitable for point-of-care testing (POCT) by overcoming the limitations of space, test time, cross-over contamination, and biosafety due to omitting RNA extraction process.
