Detecting Harmful Algal Blooms with Isothermal Molecular Strategies

Detecting Harmful Algal Blooms with Isothermal Molecular Strategies

The use of isothermal nucleic acid amplification strategies to detect harmful algal blooms (HABs) is in its infancy. We describe recent advances in these systems and highlight the challenges for the achievement of simple, low-cost, compact, and portable devices for field applications.
