Portable, Battery-Powered Device (Microfluidic chip for only PCR + Electrical Heating + Fluorescence)
Highlights:
- Thermal control system was developed using aluminum thin-film heaters and RTDs (Resistance temperature detectors)
- Fluorescence Detection system consisted of a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor camera, LED excitation light and mirror unit (dichroic mirror, an excitation filter, and an emission filter).
- Cons: no DNA extraction, fluid propagation
