Increased amplification efficiency of microchip-based PCR by dynamic surface passivation.
Surface passivation is critical for effective PCR using silicon-glass chips. We tested a dynamic polymer-based surface passivation method. Polyethylene glycol 8000 (PEG 8000) or polyvinylpyrrolidone 40 (PVP-40) applied at 0.75% (w/v) in the reaction mixture produced significant surface passivation effects using either native or SiO2-precoated silicon-glass chips. PCR amplification was achieved ...
متن کاملMinimizing the surface effect of PDMS–glass microchip on polymerase chain reaction by dynamic polymer passivation
Polydimethyl siloxane (PDMS)–glass microchip has a very strong surface effect on polymerase chain reaction (PCR), leading to a very poor PCR yield. In the work reported here, practical dynamic passivation of surfaces of PDMS–glass microchip using polyethylene glycol (PEG) or polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) was achieved using a conventional thermocycler. The passivation procedure was cost-effective a...
متن کاملDynamic Passivation with BSA Overcomes LTCC Mediated Inhibition of PCR
The increasing use of low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) for the fabrication of biological microfluidic devices necessitates further research on LTCC biocompatibility. In this study we explore the inhibitory effect of DuPont’s 951 LTCC on Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), and demonstrate a novel mechanism to increase biocompatibility between LTCC and PCR with the addition of a common passiv...
متن کاملIncreased efficiency of arbitrarily primed PCR by prolonged ramp times.
for functional analysis. Mutagenesis to the small promoter-only containing plasmid is preferred to that of the reporter gene construct, because amplification of a smaller plasmid is faster and more efficient and removes the slight possibility of introducing random mutations to the reporter gene. The transferred mutant region can be sequenced to confirm that no random mutations were introduced d...
متن کاملEnhancement in Light Extraction Efficiency of GaN-Based Light-Emitting Diodes Using Double Dielectric Surface Passivation
SiO2/Al2O3 double dielectric stack layer was deposited on the surface of the GaN-based Light-Emitting Diode (LED). The double dielectric stack layer enhances both the electrical characteristics and the optical output power of the LED because the first Al2O3 layer plays a role of effectively passivating the p-GaN surface and the second lower index SiO2 layer increases the critical angle of the l...
