Abstract
Methods for amplifying nucleic acid, such as DNA or RNA, on a printed circuit board (PCB) substrate are disclosed. The amplification can be achieved through a variety of methods such as thermocycling or isothermally. The printed circuit board substrate can comprise an array of electrodes for transporting droplets and can be part of a sandwich structure including a top plate parallel to the printed circuit board substrate.
