A molecular workflow
built for koala health research.
Radetec developed a LAMP research workflow targeting Chlamydia pecorum in koalas. The project connects assay development with the practical needs of testing closer to the point of care.
From target to a portable testing workflow
Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) offers a molecular route to detecting pathogen DNA without a conventional thermal cycling workflow. For this project, we explored assay conditions and a compact readout around the koala C. pecorum target.
The design work extends beyond the reaction itself: sample handling, amplification conditions, controls and instrument operation all affect how a research assay can be used in practice.
From a pathogen target to a practical molecular research workflow.
Different setups for
different stages of work.
Our prototype work includes a small portable device and an eight-position benchtop reader. The images show the research hardware, not a clinically validated testing claim.
