Overview of the Magtect system for multiplex meat authentication. a Schematic of the fully integrated “sample-to-answer” workflow, showing on-chip magnetic bead–based nucleic acid extraction, ultrasound-assisted washing, magnetic array–guided bead distribution, and parallel isothermal amplification. The centrifugally formed wax barrier is highlighted, which physically isolates the elution buffer from the amplification reagents and melts upon heating to trigger the reaction. b Photograph of the assembled Magtect chip. c Photograph of the portable Magtect analyzer. d Exploded view of the analyzer, illustrating the integrated motion control, magnetic manipulation, ultrasonic washing, heating, optical detection modules
