Smartphone-based LAMP assay can detect COVID, flu
By Leah Sherwood
Smart LAMP is portable and inexpensive to set up (less than $100, according to the authors) and consists of a hot plate, cardboard box, and LED lights. The researchers designed the diagnostic to meet five criteria for rapid and frequent testing at the point of care: speed, sensitivity, low cost, scalability, and accessibility. The assay simultaneously analyzes up to 96 saliva samples per phone at a cost of less than $7 per test, the researchers noted.
