Abstract
Conference Title: 2015 41st Annual Northeast Biomedical Engineering Conference (NEBEC) Conference Start Date: 2015, April 17 Conference End Date: 2015, April 19 Conference Location: Troy, NY, USA On-chip devices for point-of-care diagnostics are excellent options for rapid and low-cost testing. However, there are not many fully integrated on-chip nucleic-acid tests reported in literature. Here, we propose a palm-sized 'chip' in which solid-phase extraction, isothermal enzymatic amplification (LAMP) and real-time fluorescence detection are integrated. The device operates with one moving part; fluid actuation and control is effected by capillary wicking action of absorbent materials, requiring no external pumping or power.
