Abstract
This protocol describes how to perform a SHINE paper-based assay to detect SARS-CoV-2 RNA from a self-collected saliva sample. This protocol is intended for in-home use. All enzymatic components are provided as a single-test freeze-dried pellet for shelf-stable storage, and all steps of the protocol are performed at ambient temperature. The protocol presented here is an improved version of the method presented in Arizti-Sanz J*, Freije CA*, et al. Integrated sample inactivation, amplification, and Cas13-based detection of SARS-CoV-2. bioRxiv (2020).

The necessary volume of FastAmp Viral and Cell Solution is provided in the screw cap tube used for sample collection. All enzymatic components, reagents, and compatible buffers required for SARS-CoV-2 detection are included within Lyophilized Reagent Mix B and are reconstituted with Reagent Mix A (see protocol for details). A smartphone or smart device is necessary for automated interpretation of the SARS-CoV-2 detection results using the HandLens application. The required volume of Reagent Mix A is provided in the Nalgene Dropper Bottle.

Safety warnings
Please take care with potentially infectious sample material that does not come into contact with the provided viral lysis solution contained within the saliva sample collection tube.
Before start
Download the HandLens application on the user-provided smart device (smartphone, tablet, etc.). Wash hands prior to starting the protocol.
Sample Collection and Viral Lysis
Sample Collection and Viral Lysis
Expel approximately one drop of saliva into the sample collection tube and cap the tube.
Saliva collection tube contains necessary volume of FastAmp® Viral and Cell Solution.
