Detection of SARS-CoV-2 from raw patient samples by coupled high temperature reverse transcription and amplification.

SARS-CoV-2 is spreading globally with unprecedented consequences for modern societies.The early detection of infected individuals is a pre-requisite to contain the virus.Currently, purification of RNA from patient samples followed by RT-PCR is the gold standard to assess the presence of this single-strand RNA virus.However, these procedures are tim

Physicochemical and statistical characterization of gas-sensing behaviors of resonator sensors with carbonaceous films prepared by rf-sputtering of aromatic and hydrophilic biomolecules

Quartz crystal resonators coated with gas-sorptive films were characterized by analyzing their structures and their organic gas-sorption behaviors, which were then studied using statistics and computational molecular simulations.The films had carbonaceous structures that were prepared by radio-frequency (rf) Leg Support sputtering of aromatic biomo
