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 18):
The PCR method of  claim 14 , further comprising:\n monitoring temperatures of the chambers; activating resistive heaters associated with chambers to maintain the temperature s of the chambers within a controlled temperature range.
