When creating a PCR protocol, users normally concentrate on the template DNA, reaction mix (buffer, dNTPs, taq polymerase), primers, probes, and the thermocycler, which is the main instrument used to ...
Researchers have developed a plasmofluidic chip that can perform PCR in only about 8 minutes, which could speed diagnosis during current and future pandemics. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain ...
A new discovery has reshaped our understanding of PCR chip technology: water vapor, not air expansion, is the primary culprit behind bubble formation in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-based chips. This ...
Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology published a new high-pressure liquid seal method in Microsystems & Nanoengineering on ...
