ABSTRACT
New coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), which has caused the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, has brought about a huge burden on global healthcare systems. Rapid and early detection is important to prevent the spread of the pandemic. Here, an assay based on CRISPR/Cas13a and catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA), termed as Cas-CHA, was developed for ultrasensitive and specific detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA. Upon specific recognition of the target, the CRISPR/Cas13a collaterally cleaved a well-designed hairpin reporter and triggered the CHA reaction. Under optimized conditions, the assay detected the SARS-CoV-2 RNA with a wide range of 100 aM to 100 nM and realized a low detection limit of 84 aM. At the same time, the whole detecting process could be completed within 35 min. More importantly, the assay was able to distinguish SARS-CoV-2 RNA from common human coronaviruses and analyze in saliva samples. By the flexible design of crRNA, the assay was expanded to detect other viruses. The clinical sample analysis verified that the proposed assay held a great potential for practical testing.
