The establishment of colorimetric pp-IPA assay for malaria detection. A fivefold dilution series made from lysate of a cultured 3D7 standard strain was assayed using colorimetric pp-IPA. The results were observed at 0, 20, and 40 min, respectively. The left image shows an overview of pp-IPA amplification, with the red box indicating the amplification result observation area and the black rectangle indicating the no template control (NTC). The right image is an enlarged view of the result observation area. The concentrations ranged from 0.000128 to 2 parasites/μl and were marked above each sample. The associated RT-qPCR and RT-LAMP results for each sample were listed as well for comparison. Each sample was run in triplicates and one representative pipette was shown. pp-IPA Pasteur pipette-assisted isothermal probe amplification, ND not detected
