#STOPCovid requires no sample extraction, can be performed using a single mastermix, and uses a paper strip to display results. #STOPCovid can detect down to 100 copies of SARS-Cov-2 RNA from patient samples. 2/Xpic.twitter.com/vN6jT7QT2P

Enabling testing at home and in low-resource settings requires that we can’t be reliant on complex instrumentation. #STOPCovid can be used with a sous-vide cooker (<$40). 3/Xpic.twitter.com/5nsH5Ivxcb
Super proud of the #STOPCovid team, @JuliaJoung, @LadhaAlim, @omarabudayyeh, @jgooten, MSegel, MSaito, RMacrae, and EBlackwell who have worked tirelessly for achieving this advance. We are charging forward to develop this into a turn-key solution for at-home testing. 4/Xpic.twitter.com/emHwHxZpV0
Last but not least, huge thanks to our supporters, in particular @HHMI, @McGovernMIT, @broadinstitute, @NIH, @open_phil, Mathers Fdn, J.&P. Poitras, M.&L.&E.Schwartz, and @NEBiolabs, @Quintara_Bio, @Synthego, & MileniaBiotec for their big help. 5/X
We are making a limited number of research-use-only #STOPCovid reagents available for free to the research community. Updates to the protocol and data will be added to our website http://STOPCovid.science .

Also a huge thanks to our collaborators Keith Jerome & Alex Greninger at Univ Washington and Bruce Walker & Jon Li @MassCPR for access to patient samples!
Do you have significant specificity concerns about RT-LAMP only assays? The data I have seen looks very good and the assay is even more simpler and requires fewer reagents.
Most positives from these field style tests would be referred for clinical testing in any case, so a low rate of false positives would seem to be an acceptable trade off for greater ease and lower cost.
