  • Patent number: 10052632
    Abstract: Provided herein are systems, devices, and methods for generating thermal gradients in channels and uses thereof. In particular, provided herein are system, methods, and devices employing first and second thermal layers positioned around a channel in order to create a thermal gradient across a cross-section of the channel having, for example, a nucleic acid denaturation zone, a nucleic acid annealing zone, and a nucleic acid polymerization zone. Such devices find use in, for example, nucleic acid amplification procedures, including digital polymerase chain reaction (dPCR) to temperature cycle droplets for amplification of nucleic acid templates within the droplets.

  • Patent number: 5700667
    Abstract: The instant invention provides a method for producing RNA enzymatically in a semi-batch or continuous-flow bioreactor using a DNA template immobilized to a solid support through a linkage having a single-stranded overhang extending from a noncoding strand. The coding strand remains dissociable from the immobilized noncoding strand. The immobilized RNA template is reused in at least sixteen rounds of transcription reaction. The coding strand can be replaced with a fresh DNA strand encoding the same or a different RNA.
