Process flow from saliva collection to data reporting. (A) Schematic diagram of the main steps of the process flow. (B) Sentinel robot for LAMP reaction setup, incubation, and detection. Individual process steps: 1. Saliva collection via microswabs into test tubes containing inactivation solution. 2. Sample tubes with saliva dilutions were heat-inactivated for 10 min at 95 °C. 3. Automated uncapping of a complete sample tube rack. 4. Sample tube barcode reading during Sentinel robot loading. 5. The automated pipetting system adds a selected sample volume to the RT-LAMP master mix in clear reagent plates. 6. Plate sealing by automated heat sealer. 7. Plate crane transport of the reaction plate onto a 65 °C incubation field. 8. LAMP reactions were incubated at 65 °C for 25 min; digital, parallel scanning of multiple 96-well microplates. 9. Real-time, secure reporting of deidentified data and analysis. 10. Disposal of scanned microplates.
