Abstract

Micro-total analysis systems provide sample-in/answer-out processing, incorporating both sample preparation and analysis steps. This work focused on integration of DNA extraction and PCR amplification steps with an electrophoretic separation and fluorescence detection. Fully integrated chip-based analysis was demonstrated with an anthrax sporespiked nasal swab as the sample, and detection of the anthrax-specific amplified product as the diagnostic read-out. Additional work is aimed at the development of other sample processing steps and pressure-based injections on these microdevices.
