Abstract
, respectively. Judicious selection and strategic placement of the thermal cyclers and fluorescence detector relative to the microchip enable synchronized thermal cycling and fluorescence monitoring, further reducing time-to-result. Robust amplification and detection of DNA and RNA targets empowers laboratories to achieve rapid, actionable information in endless applications.
