Caltech Micromachining Laboratory
A Parylene Real Time PCR Chip
Project Abstract
This project is an exploration of the effects of parylene
on real time PCR, which is polymerase chain reaction, and the design, fabrication, and testing of a parylene-based
real-time PCR chip. This interdisciplinary topic requires
knowledge PCR chemistry, heat transfer, microfluidics, optical
design, and microfabrication.
