  • Methods and devices for nucleic acid amplification on a surface
    Publication number: 20080076131
    Abstract: Methods of building surface amplification devices are disclosed. Methods and devices for detecting target nucleic acids are also disclosed. Primer pairs are seeded on the surface of a substrate using a connecting compound between the primers to optimize the distance between immobilized primers. The flexible linking compounds avoid the need to bend extension products during later amplifications.

  • Methods and systems for acquiring real-time quantitative melt data
    Publication number: 20070148677
    Abstract: Described are methods and systems for acquiring real-time quantified melt data. A first Double-stranded nucleic acid are immobilized on a support. The temperature of the double-stranded nucleic acids is slowly ramped up until the double-stranded nucleic acids melt. Differences in fluorescence emission are used to signal when the melt occurred. An evanescent field is used to generate fluorescence emission.
