Paper Abstract
To combat the threat of biological agents like Yersinia pestis and Brucella melitensis in bioterroristic scenarios requires
fast, easy-to-use and safe identification systems. In this study we describe a system for rapid amplification of specific
genetic markers for the identification of Yersinia pestis and Brucella melitensis. Using chip based PCR and continuous
flow technology we were able to amplify the targets simultaneously with a 2-step reaction profile within 20 minutes. The
subsequent analysis of amplified fragments by standard gel electrophoresis requires another 45 minutes. We were able to
detect both pathogens within 75 minutes being much faster than most other nucleic acid amplification technologies.
