Abstract
Small-reactor-based polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has attracted considerable attention. A significant number of tiny reactors must be prepared in parallel to capture, amplify, and accurately quantify few target genes in clinically relevant large volume, which, however, requires sophisticated microfabrication and longer sample-to-answer time. Here, single plasmonic cavity membrane is reported that not only enriches and captures few nucleic acids by taking advantage of both capillarity and hydrodynamic trapping but also quickly amplifies them for sensitive plasmonic detection. The plasmonic cavity membrane with few nanoliters in a void volume is fabricated by self-assembling gold nanorods with SiO2 tips. Simulations reveal that hydrodynamic stagnation between the SiO2 tips is mainly responsible for the trapping of the nucleic acid in the membrane. Finally, it is shown that the plasmonic cavity membrane is capable of enriching severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) genes up to 20 000-fold within 1 min, amplifying within 3 min, and detecting the trace genes as low as a single copy µL-1. It is anticipated that this work not only expands the utility of PCR but also provides an innovative way of the enrichment and detection of trace biomolecules in a variety of point-of-care testing applications.

Abstract
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been considered as the gold standard for detecting nucleic acids. The simple PCR system is of great significance for medical applications in remote areas, especially for the developing countries. Herein, we proposed a low-cost self-assembled platform for microchamber PCR. The working principle is rotating the chamber PCR microfluidic chip between two heaters with fixed temperature to solve the problem of low temperature variation rate. The system consists of two temperature controllers, a screw slide rail, a chamber array microfluidic chip and a self-built software. Such a system can be constructed at a cost of about US$60. The micro chamber PCR can be finished by rotating the microfluidic chip between two heaters with fixed temperature. Results demonstrated that the sensitivity of the temperature controller is 0.1℃. The relative error of the duration for the microfluidic chip was 0.02 s. Finally, we successfully finished amplification of the target gene of Porphyromonas gingivalis in the chamber PCR microfluidic chip within 35 min and on-site detection of its PCR products by fluorescence. The chip consisted of 3200 cylindrical chambers. The volume of reagent in each volume is as low as 0.628 nL. This work provides an effective method to reduce the amplification time required for micro chamber PCR.

Abstract
Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythia, and Treponema denticola, collectively recognized as periodontopathogens within the red complex, have been extensively studied in clinical samples collected from individuals with periodontitis. A lab-on-a-chip (LOC) is a miniature mechanism that integrates various laboratory operations onto a single microchip or a small-scale platform. This systematic review evaluates the application of LOC technology in identifying microorganisms from the red complex. This study adhered to PRISMA recommendations, and the review process encompassed several databases. In the electronic search, a total of 58 reports were found, and ultimately, 10 studies were considered relevant for inclusion. All these studies described effective, rapid, and reliable LOC systems for detecting and amplifying P. gingivalis, T. forsythia, and T. denticola. Compared to traditional methods, the LOC approach demonstrated minimal reagent requirements. Additionally, the results indicated that the amplification process took approximately 2 to 8 min, while detection could be completed in as little as 2 min and 40 s, resulting in a total experimental duration of around 11 min. Integrating miniaturization, speed, accuracy, and automation within microchip platforms makes them promising tools for detecting and amplifying microorganisms associated with the red complex in periodontal diseases.

Abstract
Pathogenic pathogens invade the human body through various pathways, causing damage to host cells, tissues, and their functions, ultimately leading to the development of diseases and posing a threat to human health. The rapid and accurate detection of pathogenic pathogens in humans is crucial and pressing. Nucleic acid detection offers advantages such as higher sensitivity, accuracy, and specificity compared to antibody and antigen detection methods. However, conventional nucleic acid testing is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and requires sophisticated equipment and specialized medical personnel. Therefore, this review focuses on advanced nucleic acid testing systems that aim to address the issues of testing time, portability, degree of automation, and cross-contamination. These systems include extraction-free rapid nucleic acid testing, fully automated extraction, amplification, and detection, as well as fully enclosed testing and commercial nucleic acid testing equipment. Additionally, the biochemical methods used for extraction, amplification, and detection in nucleic acid testing are briefly described. We hope that this review will inspire further research and the development of more suitable extraction-free reagents and fully automated testing devices for rapid, point-of-care diagnostics.

Abstract
Detection of oral pathogens is essential in the management of oral diseases, as their occurrence and progression are closely linked to an imbalance in these microorganisms. Detection techniques such as microbial cultures, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and polymerase chain reactions are highly dependent on complex testing procedures and specialized laboratory equipment, making prevention and early diagnosis of oral diseases difficult. To comprehensively implement oral disease prevention and early diagnosis in social groups, there is an urgent need for portable testing methods for oral pathogenic bacteria that can be applied in community and home settings. In this review, several common portable biosensors for pathogenic bacteria are first described. Based on the goal of achieving primary prevention and diagnosis of oral diseases, we elaborate and summarize portable biosensors for common oral pathogenic bacteria in terms of how to achieve portability of the technique. This review aims to reflect the current status of portable biosensors for common oral pathogens and to lay the foundation for the further realization of portable detection of oral pathogens.

Abstract
Based on time to place conversion, continuous flow polymerase chain reaction (CF-PCR) can realize a rapid amplification of DNA by running the PCR reagent in a serpentine microchannel but a larger space is required for each sample, which greatly reduces the efficiency of the CF-PCR. Herein, we propose a multiplex circular array shaped CF-PCR microfluidic chip for on-site detection of bacteria. There were 12 serpentine microchannels which were distributed on the disc in an annular form, and each microchannel consisted of an inlet for sample injection, and an outlet for the detection of the PCR products based on fluorescence. Samples could be simultaneously driven into each inlet by a one-to-twelve diverter through a syringe. Moreover, the method of adding fluorescent dyes at the end of the microchannel can solve the inhibition effect of excessive fluorescent dyes on the PCR reaction. The process finished with simultaneous amplification of 12 different target genes from Porphyromonas gingivalis, Treponema denticola, Tannerella forsythia, and Escherichia coli, and on-site detection of their corresponding positives within 23 min. The fastest detectable PCR reaction time was 5.38 ± 0.2 min at a flow rate of 1 mL h-1. For E. coli, the minimum detectable concentration was 2.5 × 10-3 ng μL-1 in this microfluidic system. Such a system can increase the throughput of CF-PCR for point-of-care testing of pathogens.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rapid diagnosis of harmful microorganisms demonstrated its great importance for social health. Continuous flow PCR (CF-PCR) can realize rapid amplification of target genes by placing the microfluidic chip on heaters with different temperature. However, bubbles and evaporation always arise from heating, which makes the amplification not stable. Water-in-oil droplets running in CF-PCR microfluidic chip with uniform height takes long time because of the high resistance induced by long meandering microchannel. To overcome those drawbacks, we proposed a double-layer droplet CF-PCR microfluidic chip to reduce the fluidic resistance, and meanwhile nanoliter droplets were generated to minimize the bubbles and evaporation. RESULTS Experiments showed that (1) fluidic resistance could be reduced with the increase of the height of the serpentine microchannel if the height of the T-junction part was certain. (2) Running speed, the size and the number of generated droplets were positively correlated with the cross-sectional area of the T-junction and water pressure. (3) Droplet fusion happened at higher water pressure if other experimental conditions were the same. (4) 0.032 nL droplet was created if the cross-sectional area of T-junction and water pressure were 1600 μm2 (40 × 40 μm) and 7 kPa, respectively. Finally, we successfully amplified the target genes of Porphyromonas gingivalis within 11'16″ and observed the fluorescence from droplets. SIGNIFICANCE AND NOVELTY Such a microfluidic chip can effectively reduce the high resistance induced by long meandering microchannel, and greatly save time required for droplets CF-PCR. It offers a new way for the rapid detection of bacterial.

Abstract
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has become a powerful tool for detecting various diseases due to its high sensitivity and specificity. However, the long thermocycling time and the bulky system have limited the application of PCR devices in Point-of-care testing. Herein, we have proposed an efficient, low-cost, and hand-hold PCR microdevice, mainly including a control module based on water-cooling technology and an amplification module fabricated by 3D printing. The whole device is tiny and can be easily hand-held with a size of about 110 mm × 100 mm × 40 mm and a weight of about 300 g at a low cost of about $170.83. Based on the water-cooling technology, the device can efficiently perform 30 thermal cycles within 46 min at a heating/cooling rate of 4.0/8.1 ℃/s. To test our instrument, plasmid DNA dilutions were amplified with this device; the results demonstrate successful nucleic acid amplification of the plasmid DNA and exhibit the promise of this device for Point-of-care testing.

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: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [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
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology is a mainstream detection method used in medical diagnoses, environmental monitoring, food hygiene, and safety. However, the systematic analysis of a compact structure with fast temperature changes for an ultra-fast PCR device that is convenient for on-site detection still lacks investigation. To overcome the problems of low heating efficiency and non-portability of PCR devices currently used, a miniaturized PCR system based on a microfluidic chip, i.e., lab-on-chip technology, has been proposed. The main objective of this paper is to explore the feasibility of using a heat resistor that can reach a fast heating rate and temperature uniformity combined with air cooling technology for rapid cooling and to investigate the influences of various pattern designs and thicknesses of the resistor on heating rates and temperature uniformity. Additionally, a PCR chip made of various materials with different thermal properties, such as surface emissivity, thermal conductivity, mass density, and heat capacity at constant pressure is analyzed. In addition to the heat loss caused by the natural convection of air, the radiation loss of the simulation object is also considered, which makes the model much closer to the practical situation. Our research results provide a considerable reference for the design of the heating and cooling modules used in the ultra-fast PCR protocol, which has great potential in In Vitro Diagnosis (IVD) and the PCR detection of foodborne pathogens and bacteria.

Abstract
Bacterial infections continue to pose serious public health challenges. Though anti-bacterial therapeutics are effective remedies for treating these infections, the emergence of antibiotic resistance has imposed new challenges to treatment. Often, there is a delay in prescribing antibiotics at initial symptom presentation as it can be challenging to clinically differentiate bacterial infections from other organisms (e.g., viruses) causing infection. Moreover, bacterial infections can arise from food, water, or other sources. These challenges have demonstrated the need for rapid identification of bacteria in liquids, food, clinical spaces, and other environments. Conventional methods of bacterial identification rely on culture-based approaches which require long processing times and higher pathogen concentration thresholds. In the past few years, microfluidic devices paired with various bacterial identification methods have garnered attention for addressing the limitations of conventional methods and demonstrating feasibility for rapid bacterial identification with lower biomass thresholds. However, such culture-free methods often require integration of multiple steps from sample preparation to measurement. Research interest in using microfluidic methods for bacterial identification is growing; therefore, this review article is a summary of current advancements in this field with a focus on comparing the efficacy of polymerase chain reaction (PCR), loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), and emerging spectroscopic methods.

Abstract
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is the standard tool in genetic information analysis, and the desirable detection merits of PCR have been extended to disease-related protein analysis. Recently, the combination of PCR and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to construct colorimetric sensing platforms has received considerable attention due to its high sensitivity, visual detection, capability for on-site detection, and low cost. However, it lacks a related review to summarize and discuss the advances in this area. This perspective gives an overview of established methods based on the combination of PCR and AuNPs for the visual detection of health-related DNA and proteins. Moreover, this work also addresses the future trends and perspectives for PCR-AuNP hybrid biosensors.
