BACKGROUND: The CDC protocol for SARS-CoV2 RT-PCR diagnosis (2019-nCoV CDC kit) is considered a gold standard worldwide; based on three different FAM probes (N1 and N2 for viral detection; RP for RNA extraction quality control), three reactions per sample are needed for SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis. RESULTS: We herein describe a sample pooling protocol: pooling 3 RNA extractions into a single PCR reaction; we tested this protocol with 114 specimens grouped in 38 pools and found no significant differences for N1 and N2 Ct values between pool and single sample PCR reaction. CONCLUSION: This pool of three protocol has a sensitivity of 100 % compared to the standard single sample protocol. For a typical 96-well plate, this pool assay allows 96 samples processing, speeding up diagnosis and reducing cost while maintaining clinical performance, particularly useful for SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis at developing countries.
