The present invention discloses a convective PCR apparatus by using a transparent conductive thin film to replace the traditional metal heater. The PCR reaction is activated when the container with reagents contacted the heated transparent conductive thin film and the temperature inside the container raised to initiate the convective circulation. Also, the present invention could apply for a quantitative PCR reaction by adding a specific probe, a fluorescent dye, a light source, or a photon receiver.

Convective PCR device

The present invention disclose a method for detection CPV 2a, 2b, and 2c in a sample by detecting VP2 gene. The signals can be detected by both fluorescent detection system and lateral flow immunochromatographic assay. The second object of this present invention is to provide a method to discriminate the wild type from the vaccine type. The first approach to achieve this object is discriminating wild type from vaccine type by SNP 36, which could be used on both fluorescent detection system and lateral flow immunochromatographic assay. The second approach to achieve this object is discriminating wild type from vaccine type by SNP 899 and SNP 963.
