Abstract

The present invention provides an automated device to facilitate rapid processing of sub-microliter samples using chemical or enzymatic reactions that involve liquid handling, one or more controlled temperature incubation steps (including temperature cycling), and a purification step based on molecular size discrimination. Exemplary applications include but are not limited to polymerase chain reaction (PCR), DNA sequencing applications, oligonucleotide ligation, ligase chain reaction (LCR), single nucleotide extension, exonuclease treatment, and oligonucleotide hybridization assays.
