Reverse Transcription Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (RT-LAMP) detection technology has gained prominence in the diagnostic landscape for its rapid and sensitive detection of nucleic acids. Particularly valuable in the context of infectious diseases, RT-LAMP offers a robust method for amplifying RNA targets under isothermal conditions, eliminating the need for complex thermocycling equipment. 

The simplicity of the technique, combined with its speed and cost-effectiveness, makes RT-LAMP an attractive option for point-of-care diagnostics. By targeting specific RNA sequences associated with pathogens. This technology holds significant promise for resource-limited settings where access to sophisticated laboratory infrastructure may be limited, contributing to the advancement of decentralized and rapid diagnostic capabilities.

At SkillCell we mastered RT-LAMP technology, we developed a strong expertise on saliva sample optimization, allowing the development of the worldwide first saliva test for Covid-19 (EasyCOV).
