Digital microfluidics (DMF) arises as the next step in the fast-evolving field of operation platforms for molecular diagnostics. Moreover, isothermal schemes, such as loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), allow for further simplification of amplification protocols. Integrating DMF with LAMP will be at the core of a new generation of detection devices for effective molecular diagnostics...

Due to their relevance as disease biomarkers and for diagnostics, screening of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) requires simple and straightforward strategies capable to provide results in medium throughput settings. Suitable approaches relying on isothermal amplification techniques have been evolving to substitute the cumbersome and highly specialized PCR amplification detection schemes. ...

Single-step DNA detection: a microfluidic electrochemical loop mediated isothermal amplification platform is reported for rapid, sensitive, and quantitative detection of pathogen genomic DNA at the point of care. DNA amplification was electrochemically monitored in real time within a monolithic microfluidic device, thus enabling the detection of as few as 16 copies of Salmonella genomic DNA thr...

methods genomic dna of cultured s. agalactiae was prepared and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (lamp) primers were designed based on the camp gene in bacteria. the optimum primer set was selected based on the reaction speed and specificity. the reaction result was monitored visually. the sensitivity and specificity of the lamp method were evaluated and compared with polymerase chain reac...

background and purpose: salmonella is a group of enterobacterias that cause infectious diseases in human and animals. typhoid, bacteremia, enterocolitis and salmonellosis which are caused by this bacterium are considered major health concerns in developing countries, such as iran. quick, accurate, reliable and early diagnosis is vital to prevent salmonella outbreak. materials and methods: there...
