Molecular diagnostic platforms for point-of-need pathogen detection
Altmetrics
Abstract
Rapid, accurate, reliable nucleic acid testing (NAT) platforms are essential in the diagnosis and management of diseases. The inherent complexity associated with NAT requires that such testing be performed in centralized laboratories by highly trained personnel. Modified molecular technologies that can be used at the point-of-care (POC) are needed to improve the turnaround times of results and lower the global burden of infectious diseases. To help address this urgent need, we have developed a nucleic acid sensor platform utilizing nuclease protection and lateral flow detection for rapid, ...
