Area of Science:

  • Biotechnology
  • Microfluidics
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Nucleic acid amplification (NAA) is crucial for molecular diagnostics.
  • Traditional microfluidic devices for NAA can be complex and expensive to fabricate.
  • Paper-based platforms offer potential for low-cost, portable diagnostics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel paper-based nucleic acid amplification technique using electrokinetic nucleic acid amplification (E-NAAMP).
  • To investigate the feasibility of using radio frequency (RF) Joule heating for NAA in microfluidic paper channels.
  • To assess the role of carrier proteins in paper-based NAA.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the microfluidic pressure-in-paper (µPiP) method to create paper-based microfluidic channels.
  • Employed conductive polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) electrodes infused with carbon black for RF potential application.
  • Integrated loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) reaction within the paper channels for NAA.
  • Performed numerical simulations and experimental measurements to analyze pore-scale temperature profiles.
  • Investigated the necessity of bovine serum albumin (BSA) for successful NAA.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated successful nucleic acid amplification (NAA) in paper-based microfluidic channels using E-NAAMP.
  • RF Joule heating effectively induced isothermal conditions for NAA within the paper structure.
  • Numerical and experimental temperature profiles showed good agreement, validating the heating method.
  • Confirmed that bovine serum albumin (BSA) is essential to prevent polymerase adsorption in paper-based NAA.
  • Achieved successful NAA across various paper fiber types.

Conclusions:

  • E-NAAMP is a viable and effective method for nucleic acid amplification on paper-based microfluidic platforms.
  • RF Joule heating provides a miniaturized and simplified approach to heating for paper-based NAA.
  • The findings suggest E-NAAMP offers a promising alternative to conventional microfluidic NAA devices for point-of-care applications.
