Caption

A novel RICCA assay for the lab-free, lab-quality testing of SARS-CoV-2 virus directly from saliva with a total assay time of 15-30 min. Schematic view of the assay (A) and detection of the heat-inactivated SARS-CoV-2 virus at concentrations ranging from 28,000 to 2.8 copies/μL (A’). Schematic view of the closed-system to perform RICCA assay for contamination-free diagnosis (B) and detection of the heat-inactivated SARS-CoV-2 virus in the presence of 10% human saliva (B’).
