Isothermal Recombinase Polymerase Amplification (RPA) of <i>E. coli</i> gDNA in Commercially Fabricated PCB-Based Microfluidic Platforms

Printed circuit board (PCB) technology has been recently proposed as a convenient platform for seamlessly integrating electronics and microfluidics in the same substrate, thus facilitating the introduction of integrated and low-cost microfluidic devices to the market, thanks to the inherent upscalin...
