  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR NUCLEIC ACID AMPLIFICATION
    Publication number: 20170247734
    Abstract: An embodiment of a method for generating a population of amplified concatamer products is described that comprises amplifying a template nucleic acid molecule using a first nucleic acid primer immobilized on a bead substrate and a second nucleic acid primer in solution to generate a population of substantially identical copies of the template nucleic acid molecule immobilized on the bead substrate; and amplifying the population of substantially identical copies of the template nucleic acid molecule using a concatamer primer that comprises a first region complementary to an end region of the population of substantially identical copies of the template nucleic acid molecule and a second region to generate a population of immobilized concatamer products of the substantially identical copies of the template nucleic acid molecule.
    Type: Application
    Filed: March 8, 2017
    Publication date: August 31, 2017
    Inventors: Brian Christopher GODWIN, Priya SHANBHAG, Craig Elder MEALMAKER, Gianni Calogero FERRERI, Melinda PALMER, Shally Hsueh-Wen WANG
