A Rapid and Low-Cost PCR Thermal Cycler for Infectious Disease Diagnostics
12 Feb 2016
Abstract excerpt
The ability to make rapid diagnosis of infectious diseases broadly available in a portable, low-cost format would mark a great step forward in global health. Many molecular diagnostic assays are developed based on using thermal cyclers to carry out polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and reverse-transcription PCR for DNA and RNA amplification and detection, respectively. Unfortunately, most commercial thermal cyclers...
