of a specific DNA sequence in a sample • each cycle doubles the amount of DNA • most commonly used procedure in biology • commercial instruments would do 20 cycles in 50 minutes
Gel electrophoretic photograph indicating that similar results were obtained with a 50ul microfabricated test device (mid-right three bands) as in much lager commercial instrument (mid-left two bands). The target sequence amplified was HIV.
a growing culture at various time intervals (by viable counts,dry weight of the biomass or optical density measurements) • Real-time monitoring • miniaturized systems • reduction of biological waste Conventional bulk growth techniques Microbiology microfluidic
