  • Methods and systems for fast PCR heating
    Patent number: 9168530
    Abstract: A microplate for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) comprises a substrate having a metallic material for heating PCR samples, and a barrier layer disposed adjacent to the substrate. In some cases, the barrier layer is formed of a first polymeric material. The microplate includes one or more wells for containing PCR samples. The one or more wells are formed of a second polymeric material sealed to the barrier layer. In some cases, the substrate can provide a PCR ramp rate of at least about 5° C./second.

  • FAST PCR HEATING
    Publication number: 20140302562
    Abstract: Provided herein is a microplate for polymerase chain reaction (PCR), comprising a substrate formed of a material that is susceptible to heating PCR samples upon the application of an electromagnetic field and/or electromagnetic energy to said substrate. The substrate provides a PCR ramp rate of at least 5° C./second upon the application of an electromagnetic field and/or electromagnetic energy to said substrate.
