Smartphone-Operated Affordable PCR Thermal Cycler for the Detection of Antimicrobial Resistant Bacterial Genes
2022-05-27
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Objectives</h4> Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global public health threat. Surveillance of AMR requires affordable, rapid, and user-friendly diagnostic method. Our aim was to develop a low-cost thermocycler to perform polymerase chain reaction (PCR). <h4>Methods</h4> We developed a smartphone-operated PCR thermal cycler using locally available recycled materials. The thermal cycler was used for the amp...
