A video-interview with a senior researcher from the CORONADX project explains what PATHPOD is and discusses the advantages, use and perspectives of this device.
In this interview, Vinayaka Aaydha Chidambara, a senior researcher at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) tells us how, by adapting an existing technique to a new target, his research group developed PATHPOD and how the CORONADX project originated at the beginning of the pandemic.
PATHPOD is a lab-on-a-chip system for the rapid detection of COVID-19. The system uses the LAMP technology (short for loop-mediated isothermal amplification) to amplify the viral genome.
