New method for the detection of RNA viruses such as SARS-CoV-2

Experts from the University of Barcelona, the Institute for Advanced Chemistry of Catalonia (IQAC-CSIC), the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM-CSIC) and the Aragon Nanoscience and Materials Institute of Aragon (INMA)—a joint institute of the CSIC and the University of Zaragoza—have developed a new method to detect RNA viruses based on the triplex-forming probe technology.
