System modeling and controller designs for a Peltier-based thermal device in microfluidic application
DownloadSpring 2010
A custom-made Peltier-based thermal device is designed to perform miniaturized bio-molecular reactions in a microfluidic platform for medical diagnostic tests, especially the polymerase chain reaction for DNA amplification. The cascaded two-stage device is first approximated by multiple local...
