Thin-Film-Based Three-Chamber Microfluidic Chip Powered by Pyrococcus furiosus Argonaute for Sample-to-Answer Multiplex Genotyping of Tuberculosis Drug-Resistance Mutations.

Abstract excerpt

Rapid genotyping of rifampicin (RIF) and isoniazid (INH) resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis is constrained by complex specimen processing, contamination risk, and multiplex single-nucleotide mutation discrimination. We report an automated three-detection-chamber thin-film microfluidic chip compatible with sputum, tongue swabs, and cultured suspensions, with pretreatment and nucleic-acid processing on chip....
