    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for point-of-care nucleic acid amplification and detection. One embodiment of the invention comprises a fully integrated, sample-to-answer molecular diagnostic instrument that optionally may be used in a multiplexed fashion to detect multiple target nucleic acid sequences of interest and that optionally may be configured for disposal after one-time use. The instrument preferable utilizes an isothermal nucleic acid amplification technique, such as loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), to reduce the instrumentation requirements associated with nucleic acid amplification. Detection of target amplification may be achieved, for example, via detection of a color shift or fluorescence in a dye added to the amplification reaction. Such detection may be performed visually by an operator or may be achieved utilizing an imaging technique, e.g., spectrophotometric imaging.

    摘要: Systems and methods for in situ laser lysis for analysis of biological tissue (live, fixed, frozen or otherwise preserved) at single cell resolution in 3D. For example, a system and method for lysing individual cells in situ, including the steps of capturing a tissue sample comprising a cellular content, subjecting the tissue sample to a stream of continuous fluid flow, lysing a selected area of the tissue sample with a laser, thereby releasing at least a portion of the cellular content from the tissue sample, recovering at least one target molecule from the cellular content in the stream, and processing at least one target molecule is provided. The system collects cellular contents, performs highly multiplexed (RT-qPCR or RNA-seq), and sequentially (cell-by-cell) reconstructs a 3D spatial map of mRNA expression of the tissue with a large number of genes. A 3D spatial map of the DNA, RNA, and/or proteins can be generated for each cell in the tissue.
