We describe a multiplexed TFT array for the temperature controlled thermal cycling required for DNA amplification. LTPS is an ideal technology to enable the accurate and uniform temperature profiles required for assays used in a range of medical conditions as it enables high parallelism at low cost for rapid diagnosis. We will present the application background, the design, fabrication and testing of our LTPS thermal cycler.
