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 1):
A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) system comprising:\n a plurality of chambers fluidically coupled to one another through a plurality of microfluidic channels; and a plurality of inertial pumps, each microfluidic channel associated with one of the inertial pumps, each inertial pump including a fluid actuator integrated asymmetrically within the associated microfluidic channel, wherein the fluid actuators are selectively activated to circulate a fluidic PCR mixture through the chambers for a controlled number of cycles.
