Our group at Penn is developing a system for on-site, rapid (<30 min), molecular detection of pathogens and specific nucleic acids in body fluids, food, and water. The system isolates, concentrates, and purifies nucleic acids with membrane capture. The isolated nucleic acids are subjected to isothermal enzymatic amplification. An array of amplification reactors operate in parallel to enable detection of multiple markers. Reverse transcription and amplification are carried out in a single process. The amplicons are detected either by eye or with a smartphone camera. All necessary reagents for the assay are dry-stored on chip and released just in time. We will also describe the determination of HIV viral load and the detection of parasitic helminths in blood.
