Abstract

The amount of Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) strands available in the biological sample is a major limitation for many genomic bioanalyses [1–4]. For example, in the study of gene dosage in tumor DNA by comparative genomic hybridization, the analysis procedure requires several hundred nanograms of DNA strands for fluorescent labeling [2]. It is difficult to obtain such a large amount of DNA strands directly from biological samples. To overcome this problem, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique is used as the first step for these bioanalyses to amplify (replicate) the initial DNA strands [2, 3, 5]. Based on the categories of operations involved, the procedure of genomic analysis can be divided into three separate stages [6]. The first stage is sample preparation for PCR; the second stage is amplification of the DNA strands; after DNA amplification, the third stage includes the subsequent operations, such as mixing the droplet that contains DNA strands with other reagent droplets, detecting the concentration of intermediate product droplets, and the hybridization of the amplified DNA sequences [4].
