Chip PCR. I. Surface passivation of microfabricated silicon-glass chips for PCR.
The microreaction volumes of PCR chips (a microfabricated silicon chip bonded to a piece of flat glass to form a PCR reaction chamber) create a relatively high surface to volume ratio that increases the significance of the surface chemistry in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). We investigated several surface passivations in an attempt to identify 'PCR friendly' surfaces and used those surfac...
متن کاملIncreased amplification efficiency of microchip-based PCR by dynamic surface passivation.
Surface passivation is critical for effective PCR using silicon-glass chips. We tested a dynamic polymer-based surface passivation method. Polyethylene glycol 8000 (PEG 8000) or polyvinylpyrrolidone 40 (PVP-40) applied at 0.75% (w/v) in the reaction mixture produced significant surface passivation effects using either native or SiO2-precoated silicon-glass chips. PCR amplification was achieved ...
متن کاملBiochemical analysis and optimization of inhibition and adsorption phenomena in glass–silicon PCR-chips
The use of glass–silicon chips for PCR analysis has been widely reported in the last decade, but there have been few systematic efforts to pin down the biochemical problems such systems bring forth. Here we report a systematic analysis of material-related inhibition and adsorption phenomena in glass–silicon PCR-chips. The results suggest that the previously reported inhibition of PCR by silicon...
متن کاملA Microfabricated PCR-Based Biosensor
A portable, fully-automated, PCR-based detection system has been developed for the rapid detection of bacterial pathogens and forensic DNA analysis. Microfabricated DNA purification and real-time PCR microchips were fabricated and tested for their ability to purify and detect DNA sequences from a variety of bacteria including Bacillus anthracis (Anthrax). Chips were also tested for their abilit...
متن کاملLow Cost Microfabricated Silicon Chip for Membrane Protein Monitoring
In this paper we show the feasibility on using silicon batch-fabricated non planar microsized aperture for the monitoring of membrane proteins inserted in a lipid bilayer reconstituted on this aperture. A low cost chemical etching protocol was used for micromachining the pore. This work is a first step towards integrated silicon biochips designed for membrane protein recording.
