A paper and plastic device for the combined isothermal amplification and lateral flow detection of Plasmodium DNA

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Isothermal amplification techniques are emerging as a promising method for malaria diagnosis since they are capable of detecting extremely low concentrations of parasite target while mitigating the need for infrastructure and training required by other nucleic acid based tests. Recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) is promising for further development since it operates in a short time frame (<30...
