Embodiment Construction

[0048] In some embodiments, the device is configured for a disposable, portable, single use, inexpensive molecular diagnostic modality. The device may include one or more modules configured to perform high quality molecular diagnostic tests including, but not limited to, sample preparation, nucleic acid amplification (e.g., by polymerase chain reaction, isothermal increase, etc.) and testing. In some embodiments, sample preparation can be performed by isolating target pathogens / entities and removing unwanted amplification (eg, PCR) inhibitors. The target entity can subsequently be cleaved to release the target nucleic acid for amplification. The target nucleic acid in the target entity can be amplified by subjecting a polymerase to temperature cycling or by isothermal incubation to generate a large number of copies of the target nucleic acid sequence for detection.

[0049] In some embodiments, the devices described herein are self-contained devices that include all the nece...

Abstract

A method includes coupling a molecular diagnostic test device to a power source. A biological sample is conveyed into a sample preparation module. The device is then actuated by only a single action to cause the device to perform the following functions without further user action. First, the device heats the sample via a heater of the sample preparation module to lyse a portion of the sample. Second, the device conveys the lysed sample to an amplification module and heats the sample within a reaction volume of the amplification module to amplify a nucleic acid thereby producing an output solution containing a target amplicon. The device then reacts, within a detection module, each of (i) the output solution and (ii) a reagent formulated to produce a signal that indicates a presence of thetarget amplicon within the output solution. A result associated with the signal is then read.
