Laboratory staff investigating LIPI pharmaceutical biochemistry performed a validation test for detection of corona virus from swab samples taken at the Puspiptek Serpong Indonesian Science Institute (LIPI) Chemical Laboratory, South Tangerang, Banten, on Monday (8/31/2020). The RT-LAMP method has a number of advantages including a fast reaction time of approximately one hour. In comparison, the detection of Covid-19 by the PCR method takes 2 to 4 hours. RT-LAMP is also used to detect influenza viruses, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS).Under conditions of limited capacity for Rapid Test-PCR (PT-PCR), a rapid test can be used to put on screen in specific populations and special situations.
Regarding this special situation, as for travelers (including the arrival of Indonesian migrant workers, especially in the area of the State Land Border Crossing Post (PLBDN)), as well as to strengthen contact tracing such as in prisons, homes of the elderly, rehabilitation centers, dormitories, Islamic boarding schools and vulnerable groups.
