  • Publication number: 20220072539
    Abstract: The present application is generally directed to systems, methods, and devices for diagnostics for sensing and/or identifying pathogens, genomic materials, proteins, and/or other small molecules or biomarkers. In some implementations, a small footprint low cost device provides rapid and robust sensing and identification. Such a device may utilize microfluidics, biochemistry, and electronics to detect one or more targets at once in the field and closer to or at the point of care. In some implementations, the systems and methods herein implement a reader device, an assay cartridge, and a mobile or external device configured to receive abiological sample, test the biological sample, and provide test results to a patient or user associated with the patient. The test results may be packaged with additional information, including symptoms suffered by the patient, a diagnosis, and follow-up instructions.

  • Publication number: 20220073975
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the methods provided herein relate to amplifying and detecting a target nucleic acid. Some such embodiments include performing a recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) and, optionally, a second isothermal amplification reaction. In some embodiments, the second isothermal amplification reaction includes loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). In some embodiments, the second isothermal amplification reaction is performed in conjunction with the RPA. In some embodiments, the second isothermal amplification reaction is performed on amplification products of the RPA. Some embodiments also include detecting the presence of amplification products by measuring a modulation of an electoral signal such as impedance.

  • Publication number: 20180016624
    Abstract: Systems and methods for multiple analyte detection include a system for distribution of a biological sample that includes a substrate, wherein the substrate includes a plurality of sample chambers, a sample introduction channel for each sample chamber, and a venting channel for each sample chamber. The system may further include a preloaded reagent contained in each sample chamber and configured for nucleic acid analysis of a biological sample that enters the substrate and a sealing instrument configured to be placed in contact with the substrate to seal each sample chamber so as to substantially prevent sample contained in each sample chamber from flowing out of each sample chamber. The substrate can be constructed of detection-compatible and assay-compatible materials.
