Abstract: A device, method, and non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions for nucleic acid identification of material in a sample includes a microfluidics system, including a movable cartridge, and a heat source. The movable cartridge assembly includes at least one target-specific set of reagent components and a set of RCA-LAMP reaction components deposited on the surface. Moreover, the at least one target-specific set of reagent components includes at least one target specific padlock probe reagent component. The set of RCA-LAMP reaction components includes: at least one polymerase buffer component, at least one polymerase enzyme with strand displacement activity, a betaine additive, a TETRONIC additive, a sequence-specific probe, dNTPs, and a primer mix. The primer mix includes both a forward inside primer and a backward inside primer specific to a backbone of the at least one target specific padlock probe reagent component.

Abstract: Disclosed herein methods, compositions, and kits for obtaining a normalized measured amount of a target in a sample by measuring the amount of the target in the sample by contacting the sample with a detection reagent, measuring the amount of a ligand known to be absent in the sample being tested by contacting the sample with a control reagent, and obtaining the normalized measured amount of the target by calculating the ratio of the measured amount of the target to the measured amount of the ligand.
