Microorganisms have gained defense systems during the lengthy process of evolution over
millions of years. Such defense systems can protect them from being attacked by invading …

As the turnaround time of diagnosis becomes important, there is an increasing demand for
rapid, point-of-care testing (POCT) based on polymerase chain reaction (PCR), the most …

When dealing with infectious pathogens, the point-of-care screening and diagnosis strategy
should be low-cost, simple, rapid and accurate. Here, we report a multifunctional rapid PCR …

Nucleic acid testing (NAT) is important for the identification and quantification of specific
nucleic acid targets, both DNA and RNA, in life sciences and clinical diagnostics. Nucleic …

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology is a mainstream detection method used in
medical diagnoses, environmental monitoring, food hygiene, and safety. However, the …

Most of the functions integrated in lab-on-a-chip (LoC) systems require the heating and
cooling of samples in order to activate specific reactions. A common example in LoC …

This paper presents a fully automated point-of-care device for protein quantification using
short-DNA aptamers, where no manual sample preparation is needed. The device is based …

Background The genogroups GI and GII of norovirus (NoV) ribonucleic acid (RNA) genetic
variants are the most prevalent cause of acute gastroenteritis outbreaks, especially in …

Since the global spread of covid-19, PCR predominantly has taken the lead in the diagnosis.
It amplifies a particular DNA target sequence into millions of copies. To simplify the …

Solid-state nanopores are an emerging class of single-molecule detectors that provide
information about molecular identity via the analysis of transient fluctuations in the ionic …
