Nucleic Acid Amplification‐Based Technologies (NAAT)—Toward Accessible, Autonomous, and Mobile Diagnostics

The ongoing pandemic and increasing frequency of infectious disease outbreaks due to climate change, urbanization, global human migration have put great focus on nucleic acid amplification-based diagnostic technologies (NAAT). These methods can provide gold standard accuracy sensitivity, their widespread availability at the point-of-care is crucial for managing spread pathogens in animal populations, as well environmental surveillance. However, so far reach NAAT-based platforms has mostly remained limited centralized facilities hand trained workers, causing distress times need. In this review, current state-of-the-art research, as, commercial products, highlighted, performances are discussed, role academic-industrial collaborations developing next generation breakthrough emphasized. It envisioned that with these collaborations, autonomous, affordable, mobile NAAT devices be developed, a broad range targets, providing truly democratized access diagnostics population future.
