A publication with Dr. Robert Meagher's group at the Sandia Nation Laboratories. We thank Dr. Taylor Moehling for developing a sensitive colorimetric Chagas disease detection assay with us.

Chagas disease is an inflammatory parasitic infection caused by Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi). Early diagnosis is crucial in guiding treatment and slowing disease progression; however, current diagnostic methods have insufficient detection limits and often require skilled technicians. Molecular tests...

Our company developed the PrintrLab for nucleic acid extraction with added capabilities to perform isothermal amplification reactions such as LAMP and RPA.

The PrintrLab-LAMP yielded a higher sensitivity than microscopy-based analysis. Considering the simpler use and expected lower cost of LAMP compared with PCR, our findings encourage its evaluation in a larger study over a wider geographical area.

Our new publication with a group at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

Growth in open-source hardware designs combined with the decreasing cost of high-quality 3D printers have supported a resurgence of in-house custom lab equipment development. Herein, we describe a low-cost (< $400), open-source CO2 incubator. The system is comprised of a Raspberry Pi computer connec...

Our new paper with The Medical College of Wisconsin: A Rapid SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Assay for Low Resource Settings

Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) assay is the gold standard recommended to test for acute SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, it generally requires expensive equipment such as RNA isolation instruments and real-time PCR thermal cyclers. As a pandemic, COVID-19 has sp...

Our new paper. A great team effort with folks at NASA-JPL, NASA-Ames, University of Vermont, Montana State University, and IRPI.

NASA has made great strides in the past five years to develop a suite of instruments for the International Space Station in order to perform molecular biology in space. However, a key piece of equipment that has been lacking is an instrument that can extract nucleic acids from an array of complex hu...
