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

Teams from the University of Barcelona, IQAC-CSIC, IMB-CNM-CSIC and INMA (CSIC-UNIZAR) design a new method to detect viral RNA. The methodology is effective and faster than the PCR test. It can also be applied to identify other viral pathogens that cause serious diseases in the population.
