As a core device for biochemical analysis in pointofcare testing (POCT) technology, PCR chip is widely used in rapid onsite disease detection and portable analysis. Rapid and precise temperature control is extremely important to improve the amplification efficiency and accuracy of PCR chip. Compared to polymer materials, glass materials have excellent biocompatibility, thermal conductivity and sealing properties. A whole glass structure PCR chip was designed and fabricated. The temperature detection circuit is composed of PT100 temperature sensor and constant current source, which can linearly convert temperature into voltage. Using STM32 controler as the core processor to acquire the digital voltage, the system applies integral separation PID algorithm to apply driving current and control voltage to heating electrode and fan, thus fast and precise temperature control of PCR chip can be realized. Eexperimental verification shows that the PCR chip can obtain a heating and cooling rate of 6 and 3℃/s, respectively, and the temperature control accuracy is 0.4℃. Bioamplification experiment verifies the effectiveness of PCR chip for DNA amplification.
