Image: The RNA of the coronavirus was extracted from the patient sample, which then underwent reverse transcription, gene amplification, and detection through nanoPCR to diagnose the COVID-19 infection. For rapid gene amplification and detection, magneto-plasmonic nanoparticles (MPNs) were used to facilitate the temperature change cycle of the existing RT-PCR at high speed. Finally, a magnetic field separated the MPN, and the fluorescent signal of the amplified DNA was detected (Photo courtesy of Institute for Basic Science, Korea)
