Abstract
A method for rendering a microfluidic device suitable for reuse for nucleic acid analysis is provided. The method may include flowing a nucleic acid inactivating solution into a microfluidic channel of the device by pumping; and then flowing a wash solution into the channel by pumping, thereby displacing the nucleic acid inactivating solution from the channel, whereby any residual nucleic acid from a prior use of the device is inactivated.
