The rapid and reliable detection and quantification of nucleic acids is crucial for various applications, including infectious disease and cancer diagnostics. While conventional methods, such as the quantitative polymerase chain reaction are widely used, they are limited to the laboratory environment due to their complexity and the requirement for sophisticated equipment. In this study, we present a novel amplification-free digital sensing strategy by combining the collateral cleavage activity of the Cas12a enzyme with single-impact electrochemistry.

Article Synopsis
  • Amplification technologies like PCR are commonly used for detecting nucleic acids but have limitations, including the need for complex equipment and risks of false positives due to contamination.
  • The CRISPR/Cas system is emerging as a powerful alternative for nucleic acid detection, utilizing its ability to degrade RNA or DNA quickly, enabling detection without prior amplification.
  • Recent advances in CRISPR-based methods demonstrate comparable sensitivity to traditional amplification methods while addressing challenges in sample preparation, off-target effects, and quantitative detection, suggesting potential for rapid and cost-effective on-site testing.
