Abstract
AbstractThe frequency of outbreaks of newly emerging infectious diseases has increased in recent years. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak in late 2019 has caused a global pandemic, seriously endangering human health and social stability. Rapid detection of infectious disease pathogens is a key prerequisite for the early screening of cases and the reduction in transmission risk. Fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) is currently the most commonly used pathogen detection method, but this method has high requirements in terms of operating staff, instrumentation, venues, and so forth. As a result, its application in the settings such as poorly conditioned communities and grassroots has been limited, and the detection needs of the first-line field cannot be met. The development of point-of-care testing (POCT) technology is of great practical significance for preventing and controlling infectious diseases. Isothermal amplification technology has advantages such as mild reaction conditions and low instrument dependence. It has a promising prospect in the development of POCT, combined with the advantages of high integration and portability of microfluidic chip technology. This study summarized the principles of several representative isothermal amplification techniques, as well as their advantages and disadvantages. Particularly, it reviewed the research progress on microfluidic chip–based recombinase polymerase isothermal amplification technology and highlighted future prospects.
