Abstract

In this paper, we present an integrated and automated prototype system which has been developed for real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis based on microfluidic PCR array chips. The system integrates the PCR thermal cycling and optical detection capabilities to enable real-time fluorescence imaging and image processing for data analysis. The main advantage of the system is that it provides a solution that can rapidly perform and evaluate PCR experiment simultaneously on microfluidic PCR array chips. The system has demonstrated fast and efficient on-chip real-time PCR analysis using human genomic DNA samples. The implementation of the system integration is a multi-thread Windows software with component structure which is written in Visual C++.
