Abstract: A mobile rapid test system for nucleic acid analysis. A method comprising the steps of amplification of the nucleic acids by means of rapid-PCR technology, conversion of a double-stranded amplification product into a single-stranded DNA fragment, hybridization with a labeled probe and detection of the nucleic acids on a lateral-flow test strip. A device comprising a reaction cavity which preferably consists of a thin film, inlet and outlet openings for the reaction cavity, one or more heatable sample blocks which are connected to miniaturized cooling bodies and a window for reading off the result. The lateral-flow test strip is a component of the mobile rapid test system. Operation of the instrument system requires no external power source, but only batteries or a rechargeable battery.

Abstract: The invention relates to a mobile device system, comprising a hand-held device and a test kit for the mobile isolation of nucleic acids. The hand-held device comprises at least one sample block for inserting sample containers, a sample block holder with boreholes or recesses for accommodating the sample blocks, a device base with electronic control units for the sample blocks, a voltage source and a connection to the sample block holder, as well as a test kit for the isolation of nucleic acids. The hand-held device is characterized in that the sample blocks can be removed from the sample block holder and the sample block holder can be removed from the device base.
