Automated, portable, and high-throughput fluorescence analyzer (APHF-analyzer) and lateral flow strip based on CRISPR/Cas13a for sensitive and visual detection of SARS-CoV-2.

ABSTRACT: COVID-19 has erupted and quickly swept across the globe, causing huge losses to human health and wealth. It is of great value to develop a quick, accurate, visual, and high-throughput detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Here, we developed a biosensor based on CRISPR/Cas13a combined with recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) to detect S and Orf1ab genes of SARS-CoV-2 within 30 min. Most important of all, we developed an automated, portable, and high-throughput fluorescence analyzer (APHF-analyzer) with a 3D-printed microfluidic chip for sensitively detecting SARS-CoV-2, which addressed aerosol contamination issue and provided a more accurate and high-throughput detection during the on-site detection process. The detection limits of S gene and Orf1
