Abstract
A flu assay system including a sample module, a microfluidic nucleic acid amplification device, and an analyzer to facilitate fully automated nested recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) on a sample delivered to the nucleic acid amplification device via the sample module. The assay includes providing a sample to a microfluidic device, and amplifying a target polynucleotide sequence in the sample. Amplifying the target polynucleotide sequence includes performing a first round of amplification on the sample to yield a first amplification product, and performing a second round of amplification on the first amplification product to yield a second amplification product. The second amplification product includes a smaller sequence completely contained within the first amplification product produced during the first round of amplification.
