Method and device for extracting and/or reproducing a target nucleic acid

A method for amplifying a target nucleic acid in a reaction solution, comprising:

• providing a heating device having a heating element in contact with the reaction solution, wherein the heating element is conjugated with at least one functional nucleic acid, and wherein the at least one functional nucleic acid is adapted to hybridize with the target nucleic acid;
• generating relative movement between the heating element and the reaction solution,
• wherein the relative movement between the heating element and the reaction solution is generated at least in part by moving the heating element;
• and
• amplifying the target nucleic acid by a polymerase chain reaction in the reaction solution using the heating device.

A method for amplifying a target nucleic acid comprising:

• extracting the target nucleic acid from a sample liquid by providing a heating device having a heating element in contact with the sample liquid, wherein the heating element is conjugated to at least one functional nucleic acid, and wherein the at least one functional nucleic acid is adapted to hybridize to the target nucleic acid and bind the target nucleic acid to the heating element;
• and
• amplifying the target nucleic acid extracted from the sample liquid by a polymerase chain reaction in a reaction solution using the heating device;
• wherein extracting the target nucleic acid further comprises generating relative movement between the heating element and the sample liquid and/or amplifying the target nucleic acid further comprises generating relative movement between the heating element and the reaction solution, and
• wherein the relative movement between the heating element and the sample liquid and/or the reaction solution is generated at least in part by moving the heating element.
