Abstract

In this study, a novel genotyping point-of-care testing (POCT) rapid detection device, the locked nucleic acid (LNA)-amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS)-recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA)-GoldMag lateral flow assay (LFA) platform, was provided by mining and synthesis based on prior technology. Research methods based on system-integrated innovation and knowledge-integrated generation have become a new trend in technology development. Here, we exploit the combination of LNA-coupled ARMS-RPA and gold nanoparticle probe technology for detection signal amplification, thus pioneering a new tool for accurate, rapid, and cost-effective genotyping. We also performed SNP typing detection and clinical validation of this new assay platform using common glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) gene single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) loci, and the results demonstrated the high sensitivity, specificity, stability, accuracy and feasibility of the LNA-ARMS-RPA-GoldMag lateral flow assay platform. It is hoped that this new technology will make a significant contribution to the field of POCT rapid diagnosis and aim to expand the application space, reflecting its clinical application value and development prospects.
