Rotational scan digital LAMP for accurate quantitation of nucleic acids

Abstract

Digital quantitation of nucleic acids is precise and sensitive because of its molecular-level resolution. However, only several quantitation formats are common, especially pertaining to how one obtains digital signals from multiple droplets. Here we present rotational scan digital loop-mediated amplification, termed RS-dLAMP. Droplets generated by centrifugation undergo isothermal loop-mediated amplification (LAMP), and self-tile by gravitation into a tubular space between two coaxial cylinders, which are then rotated and scanned to acquire droplet fluorescence signals. RS-dLAMP is quantitatively comparable to commercial digital PCR, yet has higher throughput. Moreover, by sealing the sample throughout analysis, RS-dLAMP eliminates contamination, facilitating point-of-care diagnosis and other applications.
