"Amicrofluidic chip integrating DNA extraction and real-time PCR for the detection of bacteria insaliva" published by EmilyA.Oblath et al. on Labonachip. Although the microfluidic chip in this paper can realize direct processing of samples, the aluminum oxide film is fragile, making it difficult to make the chip, and the chip is an open-cavity design. It is easy to cause aerosol pollution and affect the accuracy of the test results

"Integrated glass microdevice for nucleic acid purification, loop-mediated disothermal amplification, and online detection" published by Wu Qingqing et al. on Analytical chemistry. The chip in this paper is an integrated chip that integrates nucleic acid extraction, loop-mediated isothermal amplification and online analysis, but the chip uses microcolumn method to extract nucleic acid. , the extraction efficiency and the reliability of the micro-column need to be further studied. There is no integrated lysis function on the chip, and the sample needs to be manually lysed before being added to the chip, and it can only be used for isothermal amplification, and the use conditions are limited.
