Disclosed is a method for performing the steps of nucleic acid template
purification, thermocycling reaction and purification of the products of
the thermocycling reaction characterized in that the steps take place
sequentially in a microfluidic disc. Also disclosed is a microstructure
for fluids comprising at least one inlet opening connected to a first
chamber incorporating a means for purifying template nucleic acid which,
in turn, is connected to a second chamber incorporating a means for a
thermocycling reaction which, in turn, is connected to a third chamber
incorporating a means for purifying products of the thermocycling
reaction, and a microfluidic disc comprising a plurality of such
microstructures.
