microfluidic pcr-based

The typical method for detecting trace amounts of nucleic acid is to amplify target DNA to a certain amount by using PCR for DNA amplification, followed by quantitative detection. The PCR is the most classical technique for DNA amplification customarily carried out in laboratory-scale PCR cycles with applications ranging from diagnostics, cloning, to sequencing. Nowadays, it is possible to miniaturize the process in microfluidic chips, reducing the cost of fabrication and consumption of biological samples, and also the time of DNA amplification.
