Popis: As the gold standard for nucleic acid detection, full-process polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis often falls into the dilemma of complex workflow, time-consuming, and high equipment costs. Therefore, we designed and optimized a DNA quantification microfluidic system by strategically integrating sample pretreatment and a smartphone-readable gradient plasmonic photothermal (GPPT) continuous-flow PCR (CF-PCR). Through preloading and sequential injection of immiscible extraction reagents, combined with magnetic bead (MB) manipulation, the microfluidic chip successfully purified and concentrated 100 μL of HBV-DNA spiked plasma into a 20-μL purified sample within 14 minutes. With a digital PCR platform, the optimized experiments showed that the DNA extraction efficiency can reach 69% at an immiscible reagent configuration ratio of 10 : 10 : 1 : 12 : 2 (sample : lysis/binding buffer : MB : silicone oil : eluent) and a flow rate of 25 μL min
