Fieldable isothermal nucleic acid test for rapid semi-quantitative visual readout of Enterococci in recreational waters

The paper introduces a rapid, semi-quantitative LAMP-OSD test for detecting Enterococci in water, enabling visual readout and comparison with contamination standards.

High-surety isothermal amplification and detection of SARS-CoV-2, including with crude enzymes

The paper converts existing SARS-CoV-2 LAMP assays to use sequence-specific fluorogenic probes, improving specificity and demonstrating detection in human saliva.

Direct nucleic acid analysis of mosquitoes for high fidelity species identification and detection of Wolbachia using a cellphone

This paper develops a LAMP-OSD assay with cellphone imaging for rapid, accurate detection of mosquito species and Wolbachia infection in field samples.
