Zusammenfassung:The present invention provides a LAMP assay device that promotes isothermal RNA/DNA amplification applied to pathogen identification, comprising: a LAMP assay chamber (1); an electronics cabinet (4), a power supply means (7); and a top lid (2) for closing the LAMP assay chamber (1), wherein internally the device comprises: a metal cylindrical thermoblock (8) comprising openings (80) for positioning microtubes (81); a control board with central processing (14); a power electronics board (13); at least one heating element (10) in contact with the thermoblock (8) and adapted to heat the thermoblock (8) by induction; a temperature sensor (9) adapted to measure the temperature of the thermoblock (8); a plurality of RGB LEDs (12) positioned below the thermoblock (8) and adapted to excite each microtube positioned in the thermoblock (8); and a camera (11) positioned below the thermoblock (8) and adapted to capture images of each of the microtubes (81) positioned in the thermoblock (8). In addition, the invention provides a method for pathogen identification from a LAMP assay device.
