Integrated and streamlined microfluidic device for molecular diagnosis of pathogen through direct PCR amplification by Dohwan Lee, Tae Seok Seo

“…Background: Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a gold-standard method widely acknowledged for offering precise and rapid analysis of genetic material, particularly having a crucial role in detecting pathogens and diagnosing infectious diseases. However, the complexity of the PCR process (including nucleic acid extraction/purification, amplification, and amplicon detection) hinders its widespread adoption in point-of-care testing, where simplicity and rapidity are essential for practical use. …”
