Abstract

A portable, inexpensive, and easy-to-manufacture microfluidic device is developed for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 dsDNA fragments. In this device, four reaction chambers separated by carbon fiber rods are pre-loaded with isothermal amplification and CRISPR-Cas12a reagents. The reaction is carried out by simply pulling the rods, without the need for manual pipetting. To facilitate power-free pathogen detection, the entire detection is designed to be heated with a disposable hand warmer. After the CRISPR reaction, the fluorescence signal generated by positive samples is identified by naked eye, using an inexpensive flashlight. This simple and sensitive device will serve as a new model for the next-generation viral diagnostics in either hospital or resource-limited settings.
