We present a novel centrifugal microfluidic approach to rapidly identify animal species in meat products. The workflow requires a centrifugal cartridge for DNA extraction and for preparation of a recombinant polymerase amplification (RPA) reaction, a programmable centrifuge for processing the cartridge and an isothermal reader to perform the RPA. Liquid reagents are pre-stored on the cartridge and the meat sample can be added directly without any pre-treatment. With this system, we are able to identify six different animal species in a single run within one hour. In pork salami containing horse, turkey, sheep, chicken and beef meat, it was possible to identify species levels as low as 0.01%. In beef salami and cooked pork sausages 0.1% of foreign meat could be detected. This novel workflow enables rapid and sensitive species identification in processed meat at the point of need.
