Abstract:
In one embodiment, a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) system includes a mixture chamber, a denature chamber, an annealing chamber, an extension chamber, and a product chamber, that are fluidically coupled to one another through a plurality of microfluidic channels. An inertial pump is associated with each microfluidic channel, and each inertial pump includes a fluid actuator integrated asymmetrically within its associated microfluidic channel. The fluid actuators are capable of selective activation to circulate fluid between the chambers in a controlled cycle.

Claim (Index 5):
The PCR system of  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a controller; and instruction modules executable by the controller to control fluid flow directions, fluid flow rates, chamber temperatures, and the number of cycles the PCR mixture circulates through the chambers through selective and controlled activation of the fluid actuators.
