A multilayered microfluidic DNA analysis system includes a cell lysis chamber,
a DNA separation chamber, a DNA amplification chamber, and a DNA detection system.
The multilayered microfluidic DNA analysis system is provided as a substantially
monolithic structure formed from a plurality of green-sheet layers sintered together.
The substantially monolithic structure has defined therein a means for heating
the DNA amplification chamber and a means for cooling the DNA amplification chamber.
The means for heating and means for cooling operate to cycle the temperature of
the DNA amplification chamber as required for performing a DNA amplification process,
such as PCR.
