(A) Layout of the integrated PCR-CE microdevice. Each of the four analyzers is comprised of an RTD temperature sensor (green) and integrated heater (red and orange) for thermal cycling, a 100-nL PCR reaction chamber, etched structures for analyte capture and purification, and 10-cm long CE separation channels with common cathode and waste structures. (B) Magnified view of one reactor pair with temperature control elements and capture/purification structures. (C) The portable 12 ×12 ×10” multi-channel capillary array electrophoresis portable scanner (McCAEPS) instrument contains all necessary elements for microchip control and operation as well as fluorescence excitation and detection.
