Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides for a novel system and method for amplification and detection of nucleic acids within a microfluidic device wherein multiple nucleotides capable of priming PCR are present within the system and substantially sequestered within separate hydrogel posts therein.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for detecting a nucleic acid molecule within a hydrogel post array comprising a) Depositing on a substantially planar surface plural aqueous solutions each containing at least one nucleic acid capable of initiating an amplification of a selected template nucleic acid and a viscosity increasing solute, said plural aqueous solutions not being in fluid communication with each other and forming a multiplicity of deposits; b) Allowing said aqueous solu…
