AmplifyRP® Acceler8® (manufacurer Agdia) enables users to rapidly amplify TCDVd RNA at a single operating temperature using only a crude sample extract in portable heat block equipment. Amplified product is then tested in an Amplicon Detection Chamber where clear "yes / no" results are read visually on a lateral flow strip (much like a pregnancy test). Results are read visually on a lateral flow strip that is housed within the detection chamber. This chamber is also designed to prevent amplicons from escaping and contaminating future assays. At the moment a limited number of assays are available, but the system is expandable.
