Controlled Microwave Heating Accelerates Rolling Circle Amplification
Rolling circle amplification (RCA) generates single-stranded DNAs or RNA, and the diverse applications of this isothermal technique range from the sensitive detection of nucleic acids to analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms. Microwave chemistry is widely applied to increase reaction rate as well as product yield and purity. The objectives of the present research were to apply microwave h...
متن کاملMicrowave-Assisted Pharmaceutical Synthesis: An Overview
Microwave-assisted organic synthesis is an enabling technology for accelerating drug discovery and development processes. Microwave instruments are used principally in three areas of drug research: the screening of organic drug formulae, peptide synthesis, and DNA amplification. The features of microwave-assisted organic synthesis technology include reduction of time for a chemical reaction, in...
متن کاملMicrowave-accelerated metal-enhanced fluorescence: an ultra-fast and sensitive DNA sensing platform.
In this paper, we investigated the effects of low-power microwave heating on the components of the recently described new approach to surface DNA hybridization assays, based on the Microwave-Accelerated Metal-Enhanced Fluorescence (MAMEF) platform technology. Thiolated oligonucleotides have been linked to surface-bound silver nanostructures which partially coat a glass slide. The addition of a ...

Miniaturized laboratory-on-chip systems promise rapid, sensitive, and multiplexed detection of biological samples for medical diagnostics, drug discovery, and high-throughput screening. Within miniaturized laboratory-on-chips, static and dynamic droplets of fluids in different immiscible media have been used as individual vessels to perform biochemical reactions and confine the products. Approa...
متن کاملMircrowave-assisted Polymerase Chain Reaction (pcr) in Disposable Microdevices
Utilizing ~1 W of microwave power, we achieved heating of PCR buffer with unprecedented temperature ramp rates that allowed for rapid thermocycling. Polymeric microdevices, chosen for their low cost and ease of fabrication, were constructed from polycarbonate (PC), poly(methyl-methacrylate) (PMMA), and polyester-toner (PeT) using fast, simple microfabrication via computer-aided milling for PC a...
