Abstract

This paper demonstrates a paper-based nucleic acid amplification test with a portable instrument. The paper-based sensor provides the functions of reagent storage, sample transportation, and DNA amplification. The compact and low-cost fluorescence detector can quantify the amplicons in real-time. The results show that the sensor can detect multiple target genes with the concentration as low as 2 X 10⁴ copies/gL.
