Abstract: According to the invention, a diagnostic testing device is provided that comprises a plurality of detection chambers that are arranged in a geometric pattern. Each detection chamber comprises a receptacle for a sample container (14) containing a sample to be tested for luminescence. The diagnostic testing device further comprises a plurality of sensors, each sensor being assigned to a respective one of the detection chambers, energy supply means, a wireless data interface, a controller and a data memory. The data memory comprises a data structure, for instance a data base, wherein for each detection chamber a plurality of entries are provided that each are assigned to one individual detection chamber.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a fast and optionally multiplexing or multimeric method for isothermal amplification of nucleic acids, including DNA and RNA. Particularly, the invention relates to diagnostic methods for rapidly diagnosing, for example, at least two infectious agents, or at least two different targets in the same infectious agent, in a biological probe of interest. The invention further relates to a handheld and portable diagnostic system for performing the amplification method in a laboratory as well as in a non-laboratory environment. Further provided are suitable enzyme sequences, kits and uses of the method and the system.
