Lodestar DX, an evaluation: loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) for the diagnosis of urinary tract infection in symptomatic adult females.

However, the platform would benefit from further testing to establish its true point-of-care compatibility and a direct comparison between this and other testing methods, such as urine dipstick testing.
