Abstract

An in situ nucleic acid hybrdization assay involving DNA and peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) employs temperature gradient focusing to separate and concentrate DNA from PNA/DNA hybrids. The assay is demonstrated in a capillary format but easily incorporated into a lab-on-a-chip format. The fluorescent labeled PNA probe was mixed in situ with a complementary and noncomplementary single-stranded DNA target. The hybridization assay performed by TGF represents a qualitatively new method for mixing in microfluidic formats.
