POCKET - Ultraportable POC DNA Testing Platform (Syringe + Tubing propagation, Very small device + Smartphone based heating and Fluorescence detection)
Highlights:
- In order to conduct RPA amplification uses smartphone to maintain 37 C. Smartphone itself requires application but the simplicity of the heating method is still remarkable. Requires about 20min to heat-up the device to 37, and with 3400mAh four sets of experiments can be conducted.
- Several i-chips can be assembled to form multiplex system
- Uses simple f-box with foldable to read-out the results from the detection unit, very portable device.
- Propagation: Use a syringe + a tube with reagents in accurate amounts and separated by air gaps.
