Abstract
Clustered, regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-based diagnoses, derived from gene-editing technology, have been exploited for less than 5 years and are now reaching the stage of precommercial use. CRISPR tools have some notable features, such as recognition at physiological temperature, excellent specificity, and high-efficiency signal amplification capabilities. These characteristics are promising for the development of next-generation diagnostic technologies. In this Perspective, we present a detailed summary of which micro/nanotechnologies play roles in the advancement of CRISPR diagnosis and how they are involved. The use of nanoprobes, nanochips, and nanodevices, microfluidic technology, lateral flow strips, etc. in CRISPR detection systems has led to new opportunities for CRISPR-based diagnosis assay development, such as achieving equipment-free detection, providing more compact detection systems, and improving sensitivity and quantitative capabilities. Although tremendous progress has been made, CRISPR diagnosis has not yet reached its full potential. We discuss upcoming opportunities and improvements and how micro/nanotechnologies will continue to play key roles.
