Background:

Milk adulteration is a significant global concern, impacting food safety and consumer trust.
Accurate and sensitive detection methods are crucial for identifying intentional adulteration versus accidental contamination.
Existing methods may lack the precision or throughput for comprehensive milk authentication.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate a novel chamber-based digital PCR (cdPCR) microfluidic device for milk adulteration detection.
To enable quantitative DNA analysis for distinguishing intentional adulteration from accidental contamination.
To demonstrate the device's efficacy in real-world applications, specifically camel milk authentication.

Main Methods:

A microfluidic device with 25,600 chambers was designed for digital PCR (cdPCR).
The device integrates reagent digitalization, thermocycling, and fluorescence imaging for DNA amplification.
Quantitative analysis of positive chambers determined target DNA copy numbers for adulteration detection.

Main Results:

The cdPCR device successfully performed virtual multiplexing with high-throughput analysis.
Validation using camel milk demonstrated accurate detection of DNA from pure and diluted milk samples.
Blind sample authentication confirmed the device's efficacy in practical biotechnical applications.

Conclusions:

The developed cdPCR microfluidic device offers a sensitive and accurate method for milk adulteration detection.
This technology can reliably differentiate intentional adulteration from accidental contamination.
The device shows strong potential for routine application in food safety and authentication.
