The emergence of novel variants of concern of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) demands fast and reliable detection of such variants in local populations.
Here we present a cost-efficient and fast workflow combining a prescreening of SARS-CoV-2-positive samples using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction melting curve analysis with multiplexed IP-RP-HPLC-based single nucleotide primer extensions.
The entire workflow from positive SARS-CoV-2 testing to base-specific identification of variants requires about 24 hours.
We applied the sensitive method to monitor local variant of concern outbreaks in SARS-CoV-2-positive samples collected in a confined region of Germany.
严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)的新型关注变体的出现需要在当地人群中快速可靠地检测此类变体。
在此,我们展示了一种经济高效且快速的工作流程,该流程将使用逆转录聚合酶链反应熔解曲线分析对SARS-CoV-2阳性样本进行预筛选与基于多重IP-RP-HPLC的单核苷酸引物延伸相结合。
从SARS-CoV-2阳性检测到变体的碱基特异性鉴定的整个工作流程大约需要24小时。
我们应用这种灵敏的方法来监测在德国一个受限区域收集的SARS-CoV-2阳性样本中当地关注变体的爆发情况。
