Towards Point of Care CRISPR-Based Diagnostics: From Method to Device

Rapid, accurate, and portable on-site detection is critical in the face of public health emergencies. Infectious disease control and public health emergency policymaking can both be aided by effective and trustworthy point of care tests (POCT). A very promising POCT method appears to be the clustere...

description Rapid, accurate, and portable on-site detection is critical in the face of public health emergencies. Infectious disease control and public health emergency policymaking can both be aided by effective and trustworthy point of care tests (POCT). A very promising POCT method appears to be the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats and associated protein (CRISPR/Cas)-based molecular diagnosis. For on-site detection, CRISPR/Cas-based detection can be combined with multiple signal sensing methods and integrated into smart devices. In this review, sensing methods for CRISPR/Cas-based diagnostics are introduced and the advanced strategies and recent advances in CRISPR/Cas-based POCT are reviewed. Finally, the future perspectives of CRISPR and POCT are summarized and prospected.
