Abstract
Multiplexed detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) rather than detection targeting a single gene is crucial to ensure more accurate coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) diagnostics. Here, we develop a monolithic, 3D-printed, lab-on-disc platform for multiplexed molecular detection of SARS-CoV-2. The centrifugal lab-on-disc is fabricated in one step using simple 3D printing technology, circumventing the need for aligning and binding multiple layers. By combining isothermal amplification technology, this lab-on-disc platform is capable of simultaneously detecting the nucleoprotein and envelope genes of SARS-CoV-2 as well as an internal control of the human POP7 gene. Within a 50-minute incubation period, 100 copies SARS-CoV-2 RNA can be detected through visual detection according to color and fluorescence changes in the disc. Further, we clinically validated the lab-on-disc platform by testing 20 nasopharyngeal swab samples and demonstrated a sensitivity of 100% and an accuracy of 95%. Therefore, the monolithic, 3D-printed, lab-on-disc platform provides simple, rapid, disposable, sensitive, reliable, and multiplexed molecular detection of SARS-CoV-2, holding promise for COVID-19 diagnostics at the point of care.
