​

DASH is a quantitative PCR system that identifies infectious viral and bacterial agents in approximately 15 minutes. During the first 10 minutes samples are extracted and purified with sequence specific capture probes. Paramagnetic particles (PMP) are added to bind the target probe complex. Targets are then separated magnetically from the swab extraction buffer, washed and transported to the PCR chamber. During the last 5 minutes of the assay 40 PCR temperature cycles are performed. During the 40 cycles fluorescence is measured with a four channel optical system.
