Abstract

The application provides a microfluidic system for digital polymerase chain reaction (Dpcr) of a biological sample, and a respective method.

Description

technical field [0001] In general, the present invention relates to the technical field of sample analysis, such as the determination of chemical reactions or biochemical reactions, and more particularly to the technical field of high-throughput analysis of biological samples. In more detail, the present invention relates to a microfluidic system for digital polymerase chain reaction (dPCR) of biological samples. In further detail, such a system comprises a microfluidic device having flow channels in fluid communication with an array of reaction regions (often also referred to as partitions implemented as reaction chambers or reaction vessels), for example in the form of wells or microwells , the reaction area respectively acts as a reaction site for a chemical reaction or a biological reaction of at least one biological sample provided therein, and the system can achieve the desired in a microfluidic device as fast and as reliably as possible. Thermal cycle temperature distr...
