Oil enclosure performance of the MF-LAMP chip with varied capillary channels. (A) Schematic of the oil inlet direction of the MF-LAMP chip. (B) Capillary force that stopped oil insertion into the reaction chamber. Illustration of mechanism is visualized by PowerPoint. (C) Computational simulation of the single chamber domain through the oil enclosure process with varied channel widths (10, 30 and 50 µm) and reagent volume loss. Illustration is visualized by COMSOL (D). (E) Actual oil enclosure process with blue dye used as the LAMP reagent for visualization; the reagent volume variation is plotted in (F) and shown as red dots.
