Figure 4From: A reliable and rapid method for molecular detection of malarial parasites using microwave irradiation and loop mediated isothermal amplificationLimit of detection of parasites extracted by microwave irradiation in tailored LAMP assays. Successful amplification was characterized by clear colour changes from violet to sky blue and the negative controls remained violet. NC: Negative control; A, Pure condensed vapour droplets were used as DNA templates. LAMP can detect 1 parasite/μl culture fluid. B, Vapour droplets diluted in PBS. LAMP detects 5 parasites/μl.Back to article page
