title: [Applications of polymerase chain reaction biochip/microdevice technology in the clinical diagnosis].
abstract: The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique has been widely used in fields of molecular biology and diagnosis. PCR biochip/microdevice is increasingly of great interest as a result of its small volume of sample and reaction mixture, short reaction period and portability. The applications of PCR biochip/microdevice are specially introduced in the clinical diagnosis. Finally, the applications and development of PCR biochip/microdevice are also predicted.
