  • Publication number: 20080125330
    Abstract: A portable, fully-automated, microchip including a DNA purification region fluidly integrated with a PCR-based detection region is used to detect specific DNA sequences for the rapid detection of bacterial pathogens. Using an automated detection system with integrated microprocessor, pumps, valves, thermocycler and fluorescence detection modules, the microchip is able to purify and detect bacterial DNA by real-time PCR amplification using fluorescent dye. The fully automated detection system is completely portable, making the system ideal for the detection of bacterial pathogens in the field or other point-of-care environments.
