| | Lattice Boltzmann Simulations Comparing Conventional and a Heat Conduction Based Flow-Through PCR Micro-Devices | | Authors: | T. Mautner | | Affilation: | SPAWAR Systems Center San Diego, US | | Pages: | 328 - 331 | | Keywords: | lattice Boltzmann, PCR, microfluidics, simulations | | Abstract: | This paper describes the lattice Boltzmann, numerical simu-lations used to evaluate a conduction-based, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) device for uniformity of the micro channel temperature profile and its velocity field distribu-tion. For comparison purposes, numerical simulations were also performed using conventional PCR configurations. The simulation results demonstrate that in two-dimensions adequate performance of both the conventional and the heat conduction-based PCR systems. However, three-dimensional results indicate that nearly uniform wall tem-peratures (top, bottom and sides) are required to obtain uni-form temperature fields in the PCR micro channels. | | ISBN: | 0-9728422-7-6 |
