Fluorescence dye-based loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a sensitive nucleic acid detection method, but is limited to single-plex detection and may yield non-specific signals. In this study, we propose a bifunctional probe-based real-time LAMP amplification method for single-plexed or multiplexed detection. The bifunctional probe is derived by modifying the 5' end of the fluorophore and an internal quencher on one of the LAMP primers; therefore, it can simultaneously be involved in the LAMP process and signal amplification.

However, the sensitivity of traditional protein detection methods for detecting trace amount of proteins was relatively low. By integrating sensitive nucleic acid amplification techniques (NAAT) with protein detection methods, the detection limit of protein detection methods can be substantially improved.

In this study, we develop an easy and rapid recombinase polymerase amplification assay combined with EuNPs-based lateral flow immunochromatography (EuNPs-LFIC-RPA) to specifically distinguish and non.
