Title:
METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR TEMPLATE CAPTURE AND NORMALIZATION FOR SUBMICROLITER REACTION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001009389
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Methods for preparing nanoscale reactions using nucleic acids are presented. Nucleic acids are captured saturably, yet reversibly, on the internal surface of the reaction chamber, typically a capillary. Excess nucleic acid is removed and the reaction is performed directly within the capillary. Alternatively, the saturably bound nucleic acid is eluted, dispensing a metered amount of nucleic acid for subsequent reaction in a separate chamber. Devices for effecting the methods of the invention and a system designed advantageously to utilize the methods for high throughput nucleic acid sequencing reactions are also provided.
