Abstract
Conspectus
The global outbreaks of deadly infectious diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms have threatened public health worldwide and significantly motivated scientists to satisfy an urgent need for a rapid and accurate detection of pathogens. Traditionally, the culture-based technique is considered as the gold standard for pathogen detection, yet it has a long turnaround time due to the overnight culturing and pathogen isolation. Alternatively, nucleic acid amplification tests provide a relatively shorter turnaround time to identify whether pathogens exist in individuals with high sensitivity and high specificity. In most cases, nucleic acid amplification tests undergo three steps: sample preparation, nucleic acid amplification, and signal transduction. Despite the explosive advancement in nucleic acid amplification and signal transduction technologies, the complex and labor-intensive sample preparation steps remain a bottleneck to create a transformative integrated point-of-care (POC) molecular diagnostic device. Researchers have attempted to simplify and integrate the sample preparations for nucleic acid-based molecular diagnostic devices with innovative progress in integration strategies, engineered materials, reagent storages, and fluid actuation. Therefore, understanding the know-how and obtaining truthful knowledge of existing integrated POC molecular diagnostic devices comprising sample preparations, nucleic acid amplification, and signal transduction can generate innovative solutions to achieve personalized precision medicine and improve global health.
