Abstract
PCR, as a very important and basic method in microbiology, is used to amplify DNA sequences and is applied worldwide, especially for the detection of diseases and viruses. Today, PCR devices are in most cases still laboratory-based, complex instruments. We present the use of microheaters with the aim to miniaturize PCR devices, making them faster, more energy efficient, mobile and cost-efficient.
