Sample-Shunting Based PCR Microfluidic Device

Auroux P-A, Day P.J.R., Manz A., Imperial College, UK

A new method to perform on-chip DNA amplification is presented in this abstract: we shunt the sample back and forth over temperature-controlled zones. Compared to existing systems, this approach offers, in addition to a greater [...]

PCR Micro-Voume Device for Detection of Nucleic Acids

Auroux P-A, Day P., Niggli F., Manz A., Kinderspital, CH

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is an enzyme-mediated nucleic acid amplifer process that is employed extensively throughout the medical and biological sciences. The technique has risen to acclaim largely through its exquisite sensitivity, but an [...]
