'One-pot' CRISPR platform delivers lab-like sensitivity in 30 minutes for at-home testing

Phys.org reports that a research team at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology has developed an innovative “one‑pot” CRISPR testing platform named TEMPO. Using a single reaction tube, the system can generate results comparable to laboratory tests in as little as thirty minutes, making it viable for at‑home use. The platform could bridge the gap between rapid tests and lab‑based nucleic acid diagnostics, offering a more convenient solution for future infectious disease surveillance and genetic screening.
