Low saliva pH can yield false positives results in simple RT-LAMP-based SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic tests.
Diagnosis of any infectious disease is vital for opportune treatment and to prevent dissemination. RT-qPCR tests for detection of SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent for COVID-19, are ideal in a hospital environment. However, mass testing requires cheaper and simpler tests, especially in settings that l...
