摘要: We demonstrate a new and extremely inexpensive, multipurpose desktop system for operating lab-on-a-chip (LOC) devices. The provides all of the infrastructure necessary genetic amplification analysis, with orders magnitude improvement in performance over our previous work. A modular design enables high levels integration while allowing scalability to lower cost smaller size. component this is ca. $600, yet it could support many diagnostic applications. an implementation via polymerase chain reaction (PCR), analysis using capillary electrophoresis (CE). PCR able amplify from single or several copies target DNA CE (e.g. sensitivity) comparable that commercial photomultiplier-based confocal lab-on-chip instrumentation. believe demonstrates need no longer be barrier wide-spread application LOC technologies healthcare beyond.
