Researchers have created a rapid, equipment-free method for visualizing amplified DNA, eliminating the need for laboratory thermocyclers. This one-step process uses nanoparticles suspended in a DNA-detection solution, allowing detection in just 10-30 seconds. The innovation enables both amplification and detection within a single tube, visible to the naked eye. It's ideal for point-of-need diagnostics, offering a simple, low-cost solution for disease diagnostics and mutant screening. This breakthrough significantly simplifies molecular-based diagnostics.
