Establishment of Sample-to-Answer Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification-Based Nucleic Acid Testing Using the Sampling, Processing, Incubation, Detection and Lateral Flow Immunoassay Platforms.

ABSTRACT: Diagnostics often require specialized equipment and trained personnel in laboratory settings, creating a growing need for point-of-care tests (POCTs). Among the genetic testing methods available, Loop-mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) offers a viable solution for developing genetic POCT due to its compatibility with simplified devices. This study aimed to create a genetic test that integrates all steps from sample processing to analyzing results while minimizing the complexity, handling, equipment, and time required. Several challenges were addressed to achieve this goal: (1) the development of a buffer for bacterial DNA extraction that is compatible with both LAMP and immunochromatographic tests; (2) the adaption of the LAMP protocol for use with the SPID device; and (3) the optimi
