Design of a New Type of Compact Chemical Heater for Isothermal Nucleic Acid Amplification.

Previous chemical heater designs for isothermal nucleic acid amplification have been based on solid-liquid phase transition, but using this approach, developers have identified design challenges en route to developing a low-cost, disposable device. Here, we demonstrate the feasibility of a new heate...
