Abstract
Public health events caused by pathogens have imposed significant economic and societal burdens. However, conventional methods still face challenges including complex operations, the need for trained operators, and sophisticated instruments. Here, we proposed a fully integrated and automated centrifugal microfluidic chip, also termed IACMC, for point-of-care multiplexed molecular diagnostics by harnessing the advantages of active and passive valves. The IACMC incorporates multiple essential components including a pneumatic balance module for sequential release of multiple reagents, a pneumatic centrifugation-assisted module for on-demand solution release, an on-chip silicon membrane module for nucleic acid extraction, a Coriolis force-mediated fluid switching module, and an amplification module. Numerical simulation and visual validation were employed to iterate and optimize the chip's structure. Upon sample loading, the chip automatically executes the entire process of bacterial sample lysis, nucleic acid capture, elution quantification, and isothermal LAMP amplification. By optimizing crucial parameters including centrifugation speed, direction of rotation, and silicone membrane thickness, the chip achieves exceptional sensitivity (twenty-five Salmonella or forty Escherichia coli) and specificity in detecting Escherichia coli and Salmonella within 40 min. The development of IACMC will drive advancements in centrifugal microfluidics for point-of-care testing and holds potential for broader applications in precision medicine including high-throughput biochemical analysis immune diagnostics, and drug susceptibility testing.

Abstract
For every epidemic outbreak, the prevention and treatments in resource-limited areas are always out of reach. Critical to this is that high accuracy, stability, and more comprehensive analytical techniques always rely on expensive and bulky instruments and large laboratories. Here, a fully integrated and high-throughput microfluidic system is proposed for ultra-multiple point-of-care immunoassay, termed Dac system. Specifically, the Dac system only requires a handheld portable device to automatically recycle repetitive multi-step reactions including on-demand liquid releasing, dispensing, metering, collecting, oscillatory mixing, and discharging. The Dac system performs high-precision enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays for up to 17 samples or targets simultaneously on a single chip. Furthermore, reagent consumption is only 2% compared to conventional ELISA, and microbubble-accelerated reactions shorten the assay time by more than half. As a proof of concept, the multiplexed detections are achieved by detecting at least four infection targets for two samples simultaneously on a singular chip. Furthermore, the barcode-based multi-target results can rapidly distinguish between five similar cases, allowing for accurate therapeutic interventions. Compared to bulky clinical instruments, the accuracy of clinical inflammation classification is 92.38% (n = 105), with a quantitative correlation coefficient of R2 = 0.9838, while the clinical specificity is 100% and the sensitivity is 98.93%.

Abstract
Point of care testing (POCT) of nucleic acids holds significant importance in the realm of infectious disease prevention and control, as well as the advancement of personalized precision medicine. Nevertheless, conventional nucleic acid testing methods continue to face challenges such as prolonged detection times and dependence on extensive specialized equipment and personnel, rendering them unsuitable for point of care applications. Here, we proposed an innovative active centrifugal microfluidic system (ACMS) for automatic nucleic acid extraction, encompassing modules for active valve control and magnetic control. An on-chip centrifugal puncture valve (PV) was devised based on the elastic tolerance differences between silicone membranes and tinfoils to release pre-embedded liquid reagents on demand. Furthermore, we have utilized the returnable valve (RV) technology to accurately control the retention and release of liquids, leveraging the high elastic tolerance of the silicone membrane. By incorporating an online controllable magnetic valve, we have achieved controlled and rapid aggregation and dispersion of magnetic beads. The final chip encapsulates multiple reagents and magnetic beads necessary for nucleic acid extraction. Upon sample addition and loading into the instrument, automated on-chip sample loading and nucleic acid extraction, purification, and collection can be accomplished within 30 minutes, halving the overall operation time and even increasing the efficiency of pseudovirus extraction by three orders of magnitude. Consequently, real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR amplification has successfully detected multiple targets of the SARS-CoV-2 virus (with an impressive detection limit as low as 10 copies per μL), along with targeted sequencing analysis yielding a conformity rate of 99%.

Abstract
Genetically modified (GM) food is still highly controversial nowadays. Due to the disparate policies and attitudes worldwide, demands for a rapid, cost-effective and user-friendly GM crop identification method are increasingly significant for import administration, market supervision, etc. However, as the most-recognized methods, nucleic acid-based identification approaches require bulky instruments, long turn-around times and trained personnel, which are only suitable in laboratories. To fulfil the urgent needs of on-site testing, we develop a point-of-care testing platform that is able to identify 12 types of GM crops in less than 40 minutes without using laboratory settings. Our system integrates sample pre-treatment modules in a microfluidic chip, performs DNA amplification via a battery-powered portable kit, and presents results via eye-recognized colorimetric change. A paraffin-based reflow method and a slip plate-based fluid switch are developed to encapsulate and release amplification primers in individual microwells on demand, thus enabling identification of varied targets simultaneously. Our system offers an efficient, affordable and convenient tool for GM crop identification, thus it will not only benefit customs and market administration bureaus, but also satisfy demands of numerous consumers.

Abstract
Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B Streptococcus, GBS) has been the leading cause of infections in newborns. Rapid and accurate diagnosis of GBS in pregnant women is a deterministic strategy to prevent newborn infection. Conventional detection methods based on nucleic acid amplification assay have been applied in GBS diagnosis in central laboratories, with demonstrated high sensitivity. However, their heavy dependence on instrumentation and trained technicians forms remarkable obstacles to GBS detection in wide scenarios, including self-testing, and bedside-/community-screening. Furthermore, the structures of GBS bring about extra challenges to the nucleic acid extraction and purification. Novel GBS diagnosis platforms integrating sample processing, amplification, and read-out, are highly desired in clinical. Here, we report a portable, integrated microfluidics that enables rapid extraction of DNA from sampling swabs (<10 min), power-free DNA amplification (<30 min), and simple read-out in GBS detection. The platform works without an external pump, achieving rapid and highly efficient DNA extraction from clinical samples, with a significantly reduced time from 6 h to less than 50 min. Systematic clinical tests based on 47 patient samples validated the high performance of the platform, highlighted with a low limit of detection (LOD, 103 copies/ml), high sensitivity (100%), and specificity (100%). Head-to-head comparisons showed that the device improved the LOD by an order of magnitude than the traditional PCR method, showing a simple yet powerful POCT platform for home-/community-based testing towards GBS (and other pathogens) prevention in remote areas.

Abstract
The advent of biosensors has tremendously increased our potential of identifying and solving important problems in various domains, ranging from food safety and environmental analysis, to healthcare and medicine. However, one of the most prominent drawbacks of these technologies, especially in the biomedical field, is to employ conventional samples, such as blood, urine, tissue extracts and other body fluids for analysis, which suffer from the drawbacks of invasiveness, discomfort, and high costs encountered in transportation and storage, thereby hindering these products to be applied for point-of-care testing that has garnered substantial attention in recent years. Therefore, through this review, we emphasize for the first time, the applications of switching over to noninvasive sampling techniques involving hair and nails that not only circumvent most of the aforementioned limitations, but also serve as interesting alternatives in understanding the human physiology involving minimal costs, equipment and human interference when combined with rapidly advancing technologies, such as microfluidics and organ-on-a-chip to achieve miniaturization on an unprecedented scale. The coalescence between these two fields has not only led to the fabrication of novel microdevices involving hair and nails, but also function as robust biosensors for the detection of biomarkers, chemicals, metabolites and nucleic acids through noninvasive sampling. Finally, we have also elucidated a plethora of futuristic innovations that could be incorporated in such devices, such as expanding their applications in nail and hair-based drug delivery, their potential in serving as next-generation wearable sensors and integrating these devices with machine-learning for enhanced automation and decentralization.

Abstract
This paper introduces an enclosed microfluidic chip that integrates sample preparation and the chamber-based digital polymerase chain reaction (cdPCR). The sample preparation of the chip includes nucleic acid extraction and purification based on magnetic beads, which adsorb nucleic acids by moving around the reaction chambers to complete the reactions including lysis, washing, and elution. The cdPCR area of the chip consists of tens of thousands of regularly arranged microchambers. After the sample preparation processes are completed, the purified nucleic acid can be directly introduced into the microchambers for amplification and detection on the chip. The nucleic acid extraction performance and digital quantification performance of the system were examined using synthetic SARS-CoV-2 plasmid templates at concentrations ranging from 101-105 copies per μL. Further on, a simulated clinical sample was used to test the system, and the integrated chip was able to accurately detect SARS-CoV-2 virus particle samples doped with interference (saliva) with a detection limit of 10 copies per μL. This integrated system could provide a promising tool for point-of-care testing of pathogenic infections.

Rapid on-site nucleic acid testing: On-chip sample preparation, amplification, and detection, and their integration into all-in-one systems. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2023; 11:1020430. [PMID: 36815884 PMCID: PMC9930993 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2023.1020430] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2022] [Accepted: 01/12/2023] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
As nucleic acid testing is playing a vital role in increasingly many research fields, the need for rapid on-site testing methods is also increasing. The test procedure often consists of three steps: Sample preparation, amplification, and detection. This review covers recent advances in on-chip methods for each of these three steps and explains the principles underlying related methods. The sample preparation process is further divided into cell lysis and nucleic acid purification, and methods for the integration of these two steps on a single chip are discussed. Under amplification, on-chip studies based on PCR and isothermal amplification are covered. Three isothermal amplification methods reported to have good resistance to PCR inhibitors are selected for discussion due to their potential for use in direct amplification. Chip designs and novel strategies employed to achieve rapid extraction/amplification with satisfactory efficiency are discussed. Four detection methods providing rapid responses (fluorescent, optical, and electrochemical detection methods, plus lateral flow assay) are evaluated for their potential in rapid on-site detection. In the final section, we discuss strategies to improve the speed of the entire procedure and to integrate all three steps onto a single chip; we also comment on recent advances, and on obstacles to reducing the cost of chip manufacture and achieving mass production. We conclude that future trends will focus on effective nucleic acid extraction via combined methods and direct amplification via isothermal methods.

Abstract
Synergistic self-healing materials and inorganic particles to create self-healing superhydrophobic surfaces for improving their robustness is a common technique, but the suitability between the two is rarely mentioned. In this work, we developed a multifunctional superhydrophobic coating with room-temperature stability, mechanical stability, self-healing, and NIR stimuli response, in which self-healing polyurethane (PU) serves as the interface reinforcement layer and poly(dopamine) (PDA)-coated flower-like ZnO composite particles serve as the hydrophobic layer. A series of temperature-dependent self-healing PU materials were designed and synthesized by regulating the ratio of hard and soft chain segments in PU, and the relationship between the healing temperature of PU and the hydrophobic stability of the composite coatings was investigated. Based on dynamic hydrogen and disulfide bonds, PUs displayed excellent self-healing performance. Thanks to the self-healing and interfacial strengthening effect of PU and the photothermal properties of PDA, the composite coating exhibits not only excellent mechanical stability but also rapid self-healing ability in response to NIR stimuli. Furthermore, the smart coating demonstrated superior self-cleaning and corrosion resistance. This work provides a reference for developing strong and stable water-repellent reversible superhydrophobic coatings with great potential and promising future.

Abstract
This study reported an automatic centrifugal system for rapid quantification of foodborne pathogenic bacteria based on immunomagnetic separation (IMS) for target bacteria enrichment and recombinase aided amplification (RAA) for nucleic acid detection. First, target bacteria were captured by immune magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) to form magnetic bacteria, which were purified and enriched by magnetic separation. Then, nucleic acid extraction buffer was used to extract genomic DNA of magnetic bacteria and dissolve lyophilized RAA reagent. Finally, isothermal amplification and fluorescent detection were conducted for bacteria quantification. Bacteria magnetic separation, nucleic acid extraction and fluorescent RAA detection were elaborately achieved in a centrifugal disc with unique functional chambers and multistage siphon channels. A supporting device was developed to automatically and successively perform the programmed centrifugal protocol, including temperature control for isothermal amplification and fluorescence detection for real-time RAA analysis. Under optimal conditions, this centrifugal system enabled Salmonella detection as low as 10 CFU mL-1 in spiked chicken samples in 1 h with average recovery of 105.6% and average standard deviation of 8.4%. It has been demonstrated as an alternative for rapid detection of Salmonella.

Abstract
Point-of-care testing (POCT) has shown great advantages for public health monitoring in resource-limited settings. However, developing of POCT tools with automated and accurate quantitative dispensing of multiple reagents and samples is challenging. Here, we demonstrate a novel multi-reagents dispensing centrifugal microfluidics (MDCM) that allows rapid and automated dispensing of multiple reagents and samples with high throughput and accuracy. The MDCM was designed with multiple aliquoting units with the hydrophobic valve at different radial positions. All reagents and samples were loaded simultaneously, dispensed in parallel by centrifugation at low speed, and then introduced into the reaction chamber sequentially by centrifugation at high speed. Two MDCM chips are demonstrated, including a uniform concentration generator and a gradient concentration generator. The concentration coefficient of variation (CV) among the independent reaction chambers was lower than 0.56%, and the theoretical quantitative concentration gradient was strongly correlated with the actual concentration gradient (R2 = 0.9938). We have successfully applied the MDCM to loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP)-based nucleic acid detection for multiple infectious pathogens and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) for kanamycin sulfate against E. coli. To further extend the applications, the MDCM has also been applied to bicinchoninic acid (BCA) protein assays with online calibration, reducing the detection time from 2 h to 10 min with a twenty-fold reduction in reagent consumption. These results indicated that the MDCM is a high potential platform for POCT.

Abstract
Rapid screening of foodborne pathogens is key to preventing food poisoning. In this study, a slidable centrifugal disc was developed for automatic and multi-channel detection of Salmonella typhimurium using Flinders Technology Associates (FTA) cards for nucleic acid extraction and recombinase aided amplification (RAA) for nucleic acid detection. The slidable FTA switching and centrifugal fluidic control were elaborately combined to achieve fully automatic operations, including centrifugation of the bacterial sample to obtain the concentrated bacteria, heating and drying of the FTA card to extract the nucleic acids, washing of the FTA card to remove the impurities, and RAA detection of the extracted DNA to determine the concentration. Under the optimal conditions, this slidable centrifugal disc was able to detect 10 CFU mL-1 in a spiked chicken meat supernatant in 1 h with an average recovery of 101.8% and an average standard deviation of 6.5%. This disc has been demonstrated as an alternative for sample-in-result-out detection of Salmonella and has shown potential for simultaneous detection of multiple bacteria.

Abstract
We present a portable genetic analyzer with an integrated centrifugal disc which is equipped with a glass-filter extraction column for purifying nucleic acid (NA) and multiple reaction chambers for analyzing major feline upper respiratory tract disease (FURTD) pathogens. We targeted four kinds of FURTD including Feline herpesvirus 1 (FHV), Mycoplasma felis (MPF), Bordetella bronchiseptica (BDB), and Chlamydophila felis (CDF). The portable genetic analyzer consists of a spinning motor, two pairs of Peltier heaters, two Minco heater, fluorescent optics, a touchscreen, and software for data analysis, so loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) can be performed. The overall size of the genetic analyzer was 28 cm × 28 cm × 26 cm and the weight was 10 kg, which was deliverable for point-of-care testing (POCT). Owing to the sophisticated microchannel design and spinning program, the serial injection of the sample solution, the washing solution, and the elution solution was executed through a glass filter membrane for nucleic acid (NA) extraction, and then the cocktail with the purified genome was aliquoted into 9 reaction chambers for LAMP or PCR. The whole process for the LAMP reaction or the PCR was completed within 1.5 h. The fluorescence profiles by a scanning mode showed the matched results between the LAMP and the PCR.
