Development of Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification–Based Lateral Flow Device Method for the Detection of Malaria

The present study aims to develop a method for rapid diagnosis of malaria using loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) combined with a lateral flow device (LFD). By adding the biotin-labeled and fluorescein amiditelabeled loop primers to the LAMP reaction solution, the end product can be visu...
