Smart phone-enabled diagnostic platform for detection of pathogen nucleic acids

Meagher, Robert M.; Priye, Aashish P.; Ball, C.S.; Koh, Chung-Yan K.; Renzi, R.F.; Light, Yooli K.

The recent Ebola crisis in West Africa highlights challenges associated with pathogen diagnostics in the developing world, particularly logistical challenges with sample transport, availability of resources, and skilled labor. We present innovations in assay chemistry, microfluidic consumables, and smart phone-based instrumentation to enable a new generation of portable diagnostic devices.
