Abstract :
We create a smartphone accessory that is capable of optically reading out a detection reaction in a microfluidic chip. We test the accessory using an oligonucleotide conjugated gold nanoparticle colorimetric reaction targeted at detecting DNA from Kaposi´s sarcoma associated herpesvirus, a cancer causing virus highly prevalent in some parts of the developing world.
