Abstract:
1. A device for detection of a target nucleic acid amplification product comprising a cassette having a first port into which a container containing the target nucleic acid amplification product in a fluid is placed such that a portion of the container is exposed, a second port into which a washing buffer container containing washing buffer is placed, a sealable outer casing into which the cassette is placed and which completely encompasses the cassette when the outer casing is sealed, a cutting device that punctures the exposed portion of the container containing the target nucleic acid amplification product and a puncture needle which punctures the washing buffer container when the sealable outer casing is sealed to release the fluid and the washing buffer onto glassfiber paper such that the fluid and washing buffer are mixed and a detection strip contiguous with the glassfiber paper such that the washing buffer and liquid contacts the detection strip after the container and washing buffer container are punctured.
