	abstract = {Rapid, inexpensive, robust diagnostics are essential to control the spread of infectious diseases. Current state of the art diagnostics are highly sensitive and specific, but slow, and require expensive equipment. We developed a molecular diagnostic test for SARS-CoV-2, FIND (Fast Isothermal Nucleic acid Detection), based on an enhanced isothermal recombinase polymerase amplification reaction. FIND has a detection limit on patient samples close to that of RT-qPCR, requires minimal instrumentation, and is highly scalable and cheap. It can be performed in high throughput, does not cross-react with other common coronaviruses, avoids bottlenecks caused by the current worldwide shortage of RNA isolation kits, and takes ~45 minutes from sample collection to results. FIND can be adapted to future novel viruses in days once sequence is available.},
