For those out there interested in DIY molecular diagnostics, in addition to qPCR, also check out this new technique: "SHERLOCK-based one-step test provides rapid and sensitive COVID-19 detection: New CRISPR-based research tool delivers results in an hour in a one-step reaction, advancing the technology closer to a point-of-care or at-home testing tool." - https://mcgovern.mit.edu/2020/05/05/sherlock-based-one-step-test-provides-rapid-and-sensitive-covid-19-detection/ https://mcgovern.mit.edu/2020/05/05/sherlock-based-one-step-... "STOPCovid is an effort to develop point-of-care and at-home tests for COVID-19. Developed by scientists at MIT, the McGovern Institute, and the Broad Institute, our test relies on a number of enzyme innovations to enable rapid detection in less than an hour without any complex instrumentation. We are committed to providing simple and easy-to-use tests that can be used in any setting so that society can reopen. On our website, we will provide updates as well as live clinical data from within our collaborator network. We are committed to working with partners to validate and distribute test kits. Please reach out to us (STOPcovid@mit.edu) if you are interested in working with us!" https://www.stopcovid.science https://www.stopcovid.science
