Hand-powered centrifugal microfluidics combined with isothermal nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT) have been one of the most promising rapid detection platforms in resource-limited settings. However, current hand-powered centrifuges still suffer from customized instrument-based operation and low rotation rate; and most isothermal NAAT were conducted with complicated reaction systems for DNA detection and required an additional step for RNA detection. Herein, we built a fully hand-powered centrifugal miniaturized NAAT platform inspired by buzzer toys, which embedded sample preparation, strand exchange amplification (SEA) and visual fluorescence detection together. The centrifugal disc was easily fabricated, and operated the mixing in 1 min by simply dragging the looped rope through it with a mean input force of 16.5 N, enabling its rotation rate reach 5000 rpm. In addition, SEA was an ultra-simple one-step DNA or RNA detection method initiated by Bst DNA polymerase and a pair of primers, and thus we took all its merits and integrate it into microfluidic systems firstly. Furthermore, taking Vibrio parahemolyticus as an example, the microfluidic platform achieved DNA or RNA detection within 1 h; and the detection limit of the microchip for artificially spiked oysters was 10(3) CFU/g without cumbersome sample preparation, and reached to 10(0) CFU/g after enrichment. Therefore, we provided an ultra-simple and non-instrumental microfluidic platform powered merely by hands, performing general potential in sample-to-answer NAAT for versatile pathogens in remote regions.
