Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Tomato bacterial canker, caused by Clavibacter michiganensis ssp.michiganensis (Cmm), poses a critical threat to global tomato agriculture.This pathogen necessitates early and precise detection to manage outbreaks effectively and minimise economic losses.In response, this study introduces a pioneering Lab-on-a-Disc (LoaD) system incorporating Secondary Motion/2 Degrees of Freedom (2DoF) centrifugal microfluidics and single pot lysis technology.This innovative system is tailored for the rapid, automated, and field-applicable detection of Cmm, designed to overcome the limitations of traditional pathogen detection methods, offering improvements in testing speed, automation and reliability [1].
