Herein we show the development of a minimally instrumented paper-based molecular diagnostic for point of care detection of sexually transmitted infections caused by . This new diagnostic platform incorporates cell lysis, isothermal nucleic acid amplification, and lateral flow visual detection using only a pressure source and heat block, eliminating the need for expensive laboratory equipment. This paper-based test can be performed in less than one hour and has a clinically relevant limit of detection that is 100x more sensitive than current rapid immunoassays used for chlamydia diagnosis.
在此,我们展示了一种用于即时检测由……引起的性传播感染的最少仪器化纸质分子诊断方法的开发。这种新的诊断平台整合了细胞裂解、等温核酸扩增以及仅使用压力源和加热块的侧向流动视觉检测,无需昂贵的实验室设备。这种基于纸的检测可以在不到一小时内完成,并且具有临床相关的检测限,其灵敏度比目前用于衣原体诊断的快速免疫测定法高100倍。
