Schematic representation of the solid phase PCR process. The PDMS/aluminum composite is formed (a,b). PCR mix and DNA template are digitally filled into the cavities (c). The chip is sealed with the primer coupled slide (d). The main PCR components nNTPs, polymerase, DNA template and primer (d.i). In order immobilise the PCR product, the forward primer is also covalently attached on the surface (d.ii). After the PCR process the chip is opened and the double stranded monoclonal DNA microarray is ready for further use (e). For the visualization of the DNA spots, the double stranded array is dehybridized and subsequently hybridized with a fluorescently labeled probe (f).
