A PaGeR device for COVID-19 detection by RT-LAMP. (A) Schematic illustration of the PaGeR device, which was composed of two similar heating parts for virus inactivation and RT-LAMP reaction, one programmed control part (microcontroller unit), and one result readout part. (B) Principle of the RT-LAMP reaction with loop primers. Specially designed nested primers combined with target regions formed hairpins to permit subsequent amplification. Forward Inner Primer (FIP) consists of a F2 region at the 3'end and a F1c region at the 5'end. Backward Inner Primer (BIP) consists of a B2 region at the 3'end and a B1c region at the 5'end. Forward Outer Primer (F3) region is complementary to the F3c region of the template sequence. Backward Outer Primer (B3) is complementary to the B3c region of the template sequence. (C) Four types of result readout methods: real-time fluorescence readout, fluorometric readout, colorimetric readout, and lateral dipstick readout. (D) The principle of visual lateral flow nucleic acid detection after RT-LAMP. Neg., negative; Pos., positive; Ctrl, control.
