Prospects of Microfluidic Technology in Nucleic Acid Detection Approaches
Conventional diagnostic techniques are based on the utilization of analyte sampling, sensing and signaling on separate platforms for detection purposes, which must be integrated to a single step procedure in point of care (POC) testing devices.

Unexpected detection of DNA by nucleic acid sequence-based amplification technique
Nucleic acid sequence-based amplification (NASBA) is a technique that has been previously shown to selectively mediate the detection of RNA in microbial cells. In a series of tests, nucleic acids were extracted from Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium and Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis, and subjected to four enzymatic treatments prior
