The determination of nucleic acids has become an analytical diagnostic method with many applications in fields such as biomedical sciences, environmental monitoring, forensic identification, and food safety. Among the different methods for nucleic acid analysis, those based on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) are nowadays considered the gold standards. Isothermal amplification methods are an interesting alternative, especially in the design of chip-based architectures. Biosensing platforms hold great promise for the simple and rapid detection of nucleic acids since they can be embedded in lab-on-a-chip tools to perform nucleic acid extraction, amplification, and detection steps. Electrochemical transduction schemes are particularly interesting in the design of small and portable devices due to miniaturization, low-energy consumption, and multianalyte detection capability. The aim of this review is to summarize the different applications of isothermal amplification methods combined with electrochemical biosensing techniques in the development of lab-on-a-chip tools and wearable sensors. Different isothermal amplification methods are revised, and examples of different applications are discussed. Finally, a discussion on patented devices is also included.
