Abstract excerpt
Accessible molecular diagnostics for human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) remain constrained by the cost and infrastructure requirements of existing molecular point-of-care platforms. In this study, we describe a portable, proof-of-concept molecular workflow with a total runtime of 32 min for the simultaneous qualitative detection of HIV-1 subtype B and HCV genotype 1a directly from...
