Dual-color blending based visual LAMP for food allergen detection: A strategy with enlarged color variation range and contrast.

ABSTRACT: Food allergy has been a serious public health problem around the world. Its prevention relies heavily on the effective avoidance of any contaminated food, making clear and accurate detection very important. LAMP is one of the most potent methods for allergen rapid detection. However, its current colorimetric readouts usually have low color contrast and narrow color variation range. Thus, here we proposed a strategy based on color evolution to enlarge the variation range as well as the contrast to improve its suitability for naked-eye observation. By simply blending two commonly used color change processes during amplification, a wider color variation window, and a near contrast color change, purple-to-green with a hues difference of 10 were obtained. Three important allergens (walnuts, haz
