Abstract
A device and method for detecting COVID-19 and other pathogens includes a sample compartment contained within an interior of the device and having multiple apertures for releasably receiving one or more test tubes containing a biological sample. A bottom portion of the test tube is contained within the interior of the device and a top portion of the test tube is exposed to atmosphere. The biological sample is lysed using the device; the lysed sample is mixed with one or more primers and then amplification (RT-LAMP) is performed using the device. A thermally conductive material on or in proximity to the sample compartment can facilitate precise heating of the compartment and sample. A thermally insulative material can be inside the interior of the housing. Multiple samples can be tested simultaneously. The results can be interpreted by a color change of the sample. The device is efficient, portable, reliable, and re-usable.
