Here, we present a microfluidic device for early diagnosis of STIs. The microfluidic set-up integrates an isothermal nucleic acid amplification driven by internal chemical heating and the detection of the specific amplification product on a lateral flow-based strip. This simple and disposable test platform for the screening of pathogenic Chlamydia trachomatis is a promising tool in home-care diagnosis.enconference paper
