Abstract

We present a temperature gradient (TG) generation method using acoustothermal heating of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) by surface acoustic wave (SAW) microfluidic system [1]. Independent and precise control of each SAW from a slanted-finger interdigital transducer (SIDT) enables a onedimensional (1D) spatiotemporal control of temperature in a PDMS microchip. Various TGs were created in solid, gas and liquid. In contrast to prior works [2], the system creates switchable, dynamic and freeform TGs in a disposable microchip. As an application, one-shot high-resolution DNA melting curve analysis was performed to detect single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP).
