Solvent resistant microfluidic DNA synthesizer

Lab Chip. 2007 Jan;7(1):24-6. doi: 10.1039/b613923j. Epub 2006 Nov 30.

Abstract

We fabricated a microfluidic DNA synthesizer out of perfluoropolyether (PFPE), an elastomer with excellent chemical compatibility which makes it possible to perform organic chemical reactions, and synthesized 20-mer oligonucleotides on chip.
