Advancing Point-of-Care Diagnosis: A Development of Magnetofluidic Platform

Abstract

The development of the point-of-care (POC) diagnostic platform presents a significant advancement in modern healthcare, offering enhanced accessibility, speed, and accuracy in detecting various pathogens. The study introduces a POC-magnetofluidic device designed for nucleic acid amplification and detection using target-specific genetic sequencing. By employing isothermal amplification techniques, such as loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), the platform would enable rapid and precise on-site testing without the need for extensive laboratory infrastructure. The device needs to achieve high sensitivity and specificity to ensure reliable results. This POC solution represents a transformative approach in molecular diagnostics and represents a significant advancement in microbiology with the potential to improve patient outcomes and streamline healthcare delivery by enabling timely and accurate pathogen identification across diverse settings.
