Outcome/Output: | After the optimization of the protocol, the operator only needs to follow a simple RNA separation technique and drop casting and drying of reagent before taking the reading with a handheld Raman spectrometer. It is even possible to reconfigure the spectrometer software just to report positive or negative. |
