Feasibility study of PCR using electrostatic manipulation of micro droplets is discussed. Adherence of droplets to the surface has been a difficult hindrance to overcome when controlling PCR solution in liquid medium. Different types of medium immiscible with the droplets are tested and n-octane enables electrostatic manipulation of PCR droplets. The concept of a novel micro PCR device is proposed.
