PDE Modeling of a Microfluidic Thermal Process for Genetic Analysis Application
Figure 2
The modelled PCR-LOC device. On (a) a schematic of the chip, showing the PCR chamber as a yellow circle. The chamber is surrounded by the heater ring. The squares in the middle are the heater contact pads. The crossing channels form the CE section. On (b) a 3D view of the chip showing the three layers that comprise the device. On (c) a cross-section view of the chip showing the chip placed on the heatsink that provides passive cooling [28].
