( D) The high correlation between the theoretical DNA copy number and the experimental DNA copy number is shown. The threshold time is marked in the calibration curve, showing the DNA copy number in the real sample. ( C) With the “Quantification of Real Sample” mode, the qLAMP profile of the real sample is produced, and the threshold time is decided by the threshold value. Thus, the standard curve plotting the threshold time versus the logarithm of DNA copy number can be generated, the black line represents the linear fit to the data, the red dotted lines indicate the 95% confidence interval. ( B) With the mode of ‘Standard Calibration Curve’, the serially diluted samples generated respective qLAMP profiles and the threshold value which is determined by the second derivative maximum revealed the threshold time for each diluted sample. The color value is extracted from the reaction chamber and the hue value is computed in the mobile qLAMP app.

We believe that this advanced colorimetric approach and the mobile app can expand the potentials of the smartphone for the future POCT system in the bio-diagnostic fields.ĭirect quantification of E. Thus, the proposed mobile platform can inform us of not only qualitative but also quantitative results of the pathogens.

A calibration curve could be generated by plotting the logarithm of the known concentration of the DNA templates versus the threshold time, and it can be used to predict the copy number of nucleic acids in the test samples. To keep track of the progress of the color change, we developed a novel mobile app in which a hue value was accepted as an indicator for color transition and for determining the threshold time of the amplification reaction. Upon the amplification of the target gene by an Eriochrome Black T-mediated LAMP reaction, the color of the LAMP reaction was changed from violet to blue that was real-time recorded by a smartphone camera.
EPICHROME EXTENSION PORTABLE
The whole system consists of a hand-held box equipped with a smartphone, a film heater, a white LED, a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) chip, and a DC converter, and all the processes were powered by a portable battery of 5 V. Here, we describe a methodology for colorimetric quantitative analysis of nucleic acid using an easy-to-build smartphone-based platform, offering low-cost, portability, simplicity in operation, and user-friendliness. The increasing risk of infectious pathogens, especially in the under-developed countries, is demanding the development of point-of-care (POC) nucleic acid testing in the low-resource setting conditions.
