Introduction
In recent years, the detection and identification of nucleic acids using point-of-care total nucleic acid analysis systems are in demand in various clinical and industrial settings. Many system-based platforms including isothermal amplification using loop-mediated isothermal amplification technology have helped immensely to achieve enhanced nucleic acid amplification by increasing surface area to volume ratio.
As polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a widely used and expensive DNA amplification method as it involves multiple thermo-cycling steps which uses expensive thermo-cyclers. Isothermal amplification of nucleic acids using loop-mediated isothermal amplification eliminates such thermo-cycling steps, thereby reducing test cost and increasing assay efficiency and quality.
Besides, loop-mediated isothermal amplification is a nucleic acid based point-of-care diagnostic platforms that require fingerpick volumes of cell lysis, nucleic acid extraction, and purification reagents prior to amplification.
Significant Improvements in Amplicon Detection is Key for Market of Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification
Over the past decade, there has been significant improvements in monitoring loop-mediated isothermal amplification Amplicon detection during end-point assay reaction and also during real-time analysis. Optical, electrical, electrochemical, and pH-sensing mechanisms are used for real-time monitoring of loop-mediated isothermal amplification Amplicon. With advancements in amplification technology, loop-mediated isothermal amplification techniques have become promising alternatives to the traditional gold standard, i.e., PCR.
Besides loop-mediated isothermal amplification seems to be a reliable and robust isothermal amplification technique for detection of pathogens in patient samples. With number of research publications using loop-mediated isothermal amplification method increasing, its popularity can be noticed. Since 2001 there has been exponential growth in the number of publications and citations related to the applications of loop-mediated isothermal amplification in various filed such as in foo bio-medicine; environmental science; and food and beverage industries.
Provision for High Throughput and Complex Analysis of Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification
Since its inception in 2001, several loop-mediated isothermal amplification based assays have been developed over the years for simultaneous detection of pathogens in biological samples and food products. With revolutionary microfluidic technology, provision for high throughput and complex analysis of samples could be achieved using loop-mediated isothermal amplification.
Advance fluidic components such as reaction chambers, micro-valves, micro-pumps, and micro-dispensers can be integrated in Lab-on-chip-based loop-mediated isothermal amplification assays to provide both micro as well as Nano droplet-size samples for multiplexing and high-throughput analysis.
A novel microfluidic platform called SlipChi (loop-mediated isothermal amplification) with the ability of high throughput analysis of Nano liter sized biological samples have been commercialized. The platform allows multitasking and doesn’t require need for valves and on-chip based micro pumps for handling for samples. It also reduces the amount of samples required in Pico and Nano liter volumes.
A loop-mediated isothermal amplification based digital microfluidic device was also developed for detecting amplified nucleic acids. Using this loop-mediated isothermal amplification system, a throughput of 1 million droplets in 110 min could be obtained with limit of detection (LOD) of 600 copies/min.
