Abstract

Rapid and portable PCR detection is essential for screening sexually transmitted infections regularly. We developed an infrared mediated RNA isothermal RT-PCR (IR-MERIT PCR) platform and its compatible multichamber microfluidic chip for simultaneous amplification and testing (SAT) detection. This microfluidic chip integrates RNA extraction, micropump, and multitarget detection function onto the same chip. By utilizing IR-light-emitting diode (LED) as heat source, this platform can fulfill isothermal amplification within 70 min.
