Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="toc"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <graphic position="anchor" id="ga" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgj2b302cr4" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" />Reversible thermo-pneumatic valves (RTPVs) manipulate thermal energy to reversibly block or open microchannels. The valves prevent the evaporation of reagents during thermocycling periods. The cartridge is used for sequential aliquoting to prepare multiple PCR reaction mixtures for the detection of the Dengue virus.</p> </abstract>
