CLEAN : Coronavirus: new 30-minute Oxford test nears validation

The video tutorial explains a diagnostic process using isothermal amplification technology (LAMP) to detect viral infections. It covers the experimental setup, processing of patient samples, and interpretation of results. The advantages of LAMP over traditional PCR are highlighted, including faster results. The video also discusses the steps needed for regulatory approval and large-scale manufacturing, emphasizing the need for clinical validation and partnerships with manufacturers.
