Phase change materials as an enabler for malaria detection in low-resource settings
International Conference on Miniaturized Systems for Chemistry and Life Sciences, 23rd (Basel, Switzerland, 27-Oct-2019 - 31-Oct-2019)

Abstract
Here, we report the development of a low-cost self-powered heating system for microfluidic devices and its application to detect malaria with integrated recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) assay. The system couples the exothermic crystallization reaction of supercooled sodium acetate trihydrate (SAT) with a fatty acidbased phase change material (PCM) to ensure controlled and stable on-chip heating. Using this system, 9 malaria plasmids in 10 µL of spiked buffer were detected.
