1. A polymerase chain reaction kit comprising:
- a substrate on which a cavity, a flow channel for circulating a heating medium, and a barrier for separating the cavity and the flow channel are formed; and
at least one cover plate of a plurality of cover plates for sealing at least one of the cavity and the flow channel.

Abstract
The present invention provides a kit employed for polymerase chain reaction. The kit has a cavity and a flow channel on a substrate. The flow channel is separated from the cavity by at least a barrier formed along the cavity. Such a structure allows the cavity to be filled with a sample solution even in minute quantities. At the same time, the structure can provide a sample solution with a rapid temperature-control. The structure can therefore contribute to accelerated polymerase chain reaction.

21. A method of manufacturing a polymerase chain reaction kit comprising the steps of:
-
a) forming a cavity and a flow channel for circulating a heating medium separated from the cavity on a surface of a substrate;
b) attaching the substrate to at least one cover plate of a plurality of cover plates;
c) connecting the cavity to a sample-injection inlet exposed to outside; and
d) connecting the flow channel to a flow-in hole and a flow-out hole exposed to outside. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
