(A) The portable real-time microchip PCR system controlled by an MCU and powered by a battery. The entire size is 16×28×9 cm3, and the total weight is 843 g. (B) The LCD of the MCU board displays several information about the real time PCR such as the number of cycle, current PCR step, current temperature, fluorescence intensity, the increasing amount of the present cycle’s fluorescence intensity compared to the first cycle’s fluorescence intensity, and the graph showing the trace of the fluorescence intensity of each cycle.
