APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR GENE AMPLIFICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17684884 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR GENE AMPLIFICATION
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure describes an apparatus and method for gene amplification. The apparatus includes an upper main body with inlets for receiving a sealing solution and a sample solution, and a passage for the movement of these solutions by capillary action. It also includes a lower main body with a passage for the sealing solution to move by capillary action. A gene amplification chip is inserted between the upper and lower main bodies, and a porous medium is also inserted between them.
- The apparatus allows for gene amplification through capillary action.
- The upper and lower main bodies facilitate the movement of sealing and sample solutions.
- The gene amplification chip is designed to be inserted between the main bodies.
- The porous medium enhances the efficiency of the gene amplification process.
Potential Applications
- Genetic research and analysis
- Medical diagnostics
- Forensic analysis
- Biotechnology and pharmaceutical development
Problems Solved
- Simplifies the gene amplification process
- Provides a more efficient and controlled method for gene amplification
- Reduces the risk of contamination during the amplification process
Benefits
- Faster and more accurate gene amplification
- Improved reliability and reproducibility of results
- Cost-effective and scalable technology
- Easy to use and implement in various laboratory settings
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and method for gene amplification. The apparatus for gene amplification may include: an upper main body comprising a first inlet to receive a sealing solution, a second inlet to receive a sample solution, and an upper passage that allows the sample solution and the sealing solution to move by capillary action; a lower main body disposed to oppose the upper main body, and having a lower passage through which the sealing solution moves by capillary action after being injected from the first inlet of the upper main body; a gene amplification chip configured to be inserted between the upper main body and the lower main body; and a porous medium configured to be inserted between the upper main body and the lower main body.
