Effect of heat inactivation on CT value of realtime RT-PCR technique for SARS-CoV-2 detection

Abstract

SARS-CoV-2 was the cause of the global COVID-19 pandemic in 2019. The cycle threshold (CT) value of the real-time RTPCR technique is the gold standard in infections diagnosis,
infections risk assessment, discharged criteria, and patient isolation for SARS-CoV-2. Heat inactivation is a simple, economical solution for safety in testing for SARS-CoV-2...
