(A) Experimental methodology representation shows how potential contaminants are compartmentalized into their nanoliter-sized droplets. As a result, such contaminants cannot adversely affect the amplification (or lack thereof) of the target DNA, thus causing a decrease in droplet size for such amplified droplets. (B) A basic schematic illustrating the key materials necessary to conduct eLAMP experiments. It includes a hotplate, 3D-printed hotplate attachment, glass vial with micro stir bar, miniature spectrophotometer, fiber optic cables (to provide the light source and monitor light scatter), and the light source.
