Porous matrix comprising nucleic acid primer-carbon material composites and PCR using the same

Abstract

A porous matrix according to the present disclosure, wherein a nucleic acid primer-carbon material composite in which one or more nucleic acid primer of a forward primer and a reverse primer as a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primer is bound to a carbon material is included in the pores of the matrix, provides improved amplification efficiency as compared to a matrix wherein the nucleic acid primer is present on the outer surface of the matrix or a porous matrix wherein the nucleic acid primer is directly fixed inside pores. The porous matrix of the present disclosure can effectively detect various kinds of target nucleic acids simultaneously and analyze them in real time by varying the kinds of the nucleic acid primers included in the matrix. Therefore, it is useful in amplifying multiple nucleic acids.
