Multiplex detection of nucleic acids using a low cost microfluidic chip and a personal glucose meter at the point-of-care

A simple assay for multiplex DNA detection has been developed using a microfluidic chip and a personal glucose meter. By using this system, multiplex detection of three genotypes of hepatitis B virus DNA was possible with a detection limit of 10 pM. This point-of-care assay represented a versatile platform for sensitive multiplex target detection.
