Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for point-of-care nucleic acid amplification and detection. One embodiment of the point-of-care molecular diagnostic system includes a cartridge and an instrument. The cartridge can accept a biological sample, such as a urine or blood sample. The cartridge, which can comprise one or more of a loading module, lysis module, purification module and amplification module, is inserted into the instrument which acts upon the cartridge to facilitate various sample processing steps that occur in order to perform a molecular diagnostic test.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are primers and probes related to the detection of Neisseria gonorrhoeae via nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT), for example to amplify and determine the presence of N. gonorrhoeae nucleic acids present in test samples. Specifically the present disclosure describes primers and probes that bind to Cytochrome C or ccpA gene of N. gonorrhoeae for detection via loop mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) and molecular beacon hybridization.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are primers and probes related to the detection of Neisseria gonorrhoeae via nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT), for example to amplify and determine the presence of N. gonorrhoeae nucleic acids present in test samples. Specifically the present disclosure describes primers and probes that bind to the small subunit rRNA (cytosine (967)-C(5))-methyltransferase or rsmB gene of N. gonorrhoeae for detection via loop mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) and molecular beacon hybridization.

Abstract: The invention provides methods and compositions for the detection of Chlamydia trachomatis in a test sample. Its presence or absence in the sample is determined by nucleic acid based testing methods using primers and/or probes and or molecular beacons that bind to the 16S or 23S ribosomal genes or gene transcripts.

Abstract: The present invention relates to fluidic systems for controlling one or more fluids or reagents. These systems can be used in combination with one or more devices for assaying, processing, or storing samples. In particular, the systems and related methods can allow for controlled pressure and actuation of fluids.
