PURIFICATION AND AMPLIFICATION OF NUCLEIC ACIDS IN A MICROFLUIDIC DEVICE

摘要

Purification of either DNA or RNA and amplification through PCR or reverse- transcriptase PCR are performed in a common microfluidics device by the inclusion of diatomaceous earth in a reservoir within the device and by the use of microfluidics technology for conveying fluids through the reservoir and through microchannels within the device.
