On‐site genetic analysis for species identification using lab‐on‐a‐chip

This paper presents a microfluidic device capable of performing genetic analysis on dung samples to identify White Rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum). The development device, which can be used in the field, offers portable and cost-effective solution for DNA species identification aid conservation efforts. Optimization extraction processes produced equivalent yields compared conventional kit-based methods within just 5 minutes. use color-changing loop-mediated isothermal amplification reaction simultaneous detection cytochrome B sequence C. simum enabled positive results obtained as little 30 Field testing was performed at Knowsley Safari demonstrate real-world applicability biological samples.
