Abstract
During pandemics, such as the one caused by SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, simple methods to rapidly test large numbers of people are needed. As a faster and less resource-demanding alternative to detect viral RNA by conventional qPCR, we used reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP). We previously established colorimetric RT-LAMP assays on both purified and unpurified SARS-CoV-2 clinical specimens and further developed a multiplexed sequencing protocol (LAMP-sequencing) to analyze the outcome of many RT-LAMP reactions at the same time (Dao Thi et al., 2020). Extending on this work, we hereby provide step-by-step protocols for both RT-LAMP assays and read-outs.

Background
The new SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus poses a major public health problem (reviewed in Li et al., 2020). In the absence of efficient antiviral treatments and a protective vaccine, preventing local outbreaks by mass testing is critical. The standard diagnostic pipeline to detect SARS-CoV-2 infections is based on the isolation of viral RNA from clinical specimens, a reverse-transcription (RT) reaction to transcribe the RNA into cDNA, and detection by a semi-quantitative DNA polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) (Corman et al., 2020). Yet, commercial RNA isolation and RT-qPCR kits are costly, time-consuming, and shortages of supplies during the pandemics limit high-throughput testing requiring alternative solutions (Klein et al., 2020 ).
In our recent study (Dao Thi et al., 2020), we used reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) (Notomi et al., 2020) as an alternative to detect SARS-CoV-2 RNA in clinical specimens. We developed and characterized colorimetric RT-LAMP assays on both purified and unpurified pharyngeal swab specimens. We also developed a multiplexed sequencing protocol based on tagmentation for enzymatic addition of barcoded sequencing library adapters. This enables the analysis of many RT-LAMP reactions at the same time. Here, we present detailed step-by-step protocols to further facilitate the application of RT-LAMP for mass testing.
