Thermocapillary actuation of liquid plugs using a heater array

With the aim toward realizing polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in plug-based capillary platforms, this paper reports the theoretical and experimental results of thermocapillary actuation for temperature cycling with an arbitrary ramping function. Two concepts were inves...
