Table 4.

Summary of the effects of thickness, copper layer, microheater power, and active cooling on the microPCR performance (duration, energy consumed, and temperature uniformity); the values for duration and energy show the % change.

Comparison Change Duration Energy T-Uniformity
case 2 to 1 case 1 with thickness ↓ 38% ↓ 41% ↓ 34%
case 3 to 1 case 2 + copper layer 6% ↓ 15% ↑ 100%
case 4 to 1 case 3 + power ↑ 44% ↓ 41% ↓ 100%
case 5 to 1 case 4 + fan 62% ↓ 32% ↓ 93%
