(a) Real-time colorimetric LAMP reactions performed inside the device using the phenol red indicator. The positive reaction (blue line) contained 10 lysed bacteria as template while the negative control contained no bacteria (orange line). (b) Similar reactions to (a), this time performed with the HNB indicator. In both cases, the heating process started at t = 0 min and the heater reached the required temperature (63 °C) after approximately 2 min. All reactions were stopped after 30 min. (c) Left: Real time colorimetric curves monitored during qcLAMP amplification performed with 2 different bacteria concentrations (400 and 1000 CFU/ml) spiked in saliva samples. The two concentrations were chosen based on previously reported detection limits of bacteria using end-point colorimetric LAMP or biosensors (13, 54). Both were successfully detected in less than 17 min while zero background signal was monitored for the negative controls. Right, top: Picture of end-point reactions with 0 and 1000 CFU/ml after 40 min of incubation. Right bottom: Picture of end-point reactions with 0 and 400 CFU/ml after 40 min of incubation.
