  • To overcome limitations of conventional sample preparation and enhance LAMP assay performance.

Main Methods:

  • A microfluidic device featuring a confluent point with differing microchannel heights for synchronized liquid inflow.
  • An integrated asymmetric micromixer for efficient liquid mixing under laminar flow.
  • A colorimetric loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method for nucleic acid detection.
  • Permanent stop valves to prevent leakage and minimize sample/reagent waste.

Main Results:

  • The device accurately prepared samples at intended logarithmic dilution factors in a single operation.
  • Achieved detection sensitivity comparable to conventional turbidity-based LAMP assays.
  • Successfully detected target nucleic acids in crudely extracted cannabis resin DNA, even with inhibitors.
  • Demonstrated versatility for on-site genetic testing applications.

Conclusions:

  • The developed device enables rapid and reliable genetic diagnostics through integrated dilution and mixing.
  • It significantly reduces manual sample preparation, making it suitable for field applications.
  • The technology holds potential for infectious disease detection, food safety, and illegal drug testing.
