Our point-of-care diagnostic system can be installed at a fixed place (stationary), and it can also be transported to various strategic places (itinerant). This design consists of a retractable system with an area of 15.79 m 2 and 3 well-distributed interior areas to guaranty appropriate sample processing. The objective of this research is to develop an energetically autonomous point-of-care diagnostic system for molecular detection of SARS-CoV-2. Therefore, it is important to have an effective and practical point-of-care diagnostic system in order to be implemented in developing countries with limited energy access. However, laboratory facilities for testing are limited in rural areas. Early diagnosis is essential for an appropriate patient care and infection control, so laboratory where molecular tests are held plays a main role. The WHO has reported more than 50,000 confirmed cases and more than 1,000,000 confirmed deaths around the world. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic is one of the biggest public health issues in the last years.
