References

RCA

Template, Primer, polymerization, amplification, release target

Good amplification effect, single reaction conditions, full use of reaction materials,

Long reaction times, requiring specific amplification template

Cells, serum, tissue, plasma, fecal, beer, drinking water

[23,24,25]

SDR

Hybridization, strand displacement, release target

No enzyme or cofactor, relatively simple experimental conditions, less external interference conditions, economical and cost-effective

Multiple probes or auxiliary strands need to be designed

Cells, serum, urine, milk, river water

[32, 33]

EAA

Hybridization, digestion, release target

No complex instrument, the signal is effective, the reaction is relatively thorough, and the time is short

Harsh reaction conditions, high temperature requirements, high cost of enzymes

Cells, serum, milk, artificial urine, river water

[35, 36]
