Miniature. Fast. Automated. User-friendly. Low cost. These are characteristics that describe the ideal analytical device for many applications such as point-of-care diagnostics. Rapid advancement has been made in microfluidics and micro total analysis systems over the past twenty years, which has resulted in substantial improvements to common procedures like PCR analysis. Frederic Zenhausern and colleagues from the University of Arizona, USA, have made further progress by optimizing the efficiency of multiplexed PCR on an microfluidic device to yield high-quality DNA analysis. Find out all the details by accessing the link below, it will be free to read until Oct 19th:
