Comparison of two RNA extraction methods for the molecular detection of SARS-CoV-2 from nasopharyngeal swab samples

<p>The database includes the raw data of the article &ldquo;Comparison of two RNA Extraction Methods for the Molecular Detection of SARS-CoV-2 from nasopharyngeal swab samples&rdquo;.</p> <p>Aim of this work was to compare a two commercially available kit for viral RNA extraction from human swab samples that differ mainly for time consuming (9 min. vs 35 min.) in order to improve SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic workflow.</p> <p>The database contains the data obtained by the following evaluations:</p> <p>a) RNA analysis for the evaluation of quality and quantity by nanodrop instrument</p> <p>b) Real Time PCR analysis of SARS-CoV-2 genes and internal control.</p> <p>The two procedures evaluated gave similar analytical results in terms of extracted RNA analysis and Real Time PCR data for gene expression.</p>
