Sequencing graph for a solution preparation procedure. The inputs of the mixing
procedure are seven different kinds of samples/reagents and the final output is the droplet that has
the mixing ratio of 2:3:5:7:11:13:87 [

PCR Bioassay
The description of the PCR bioassay can be found in [
16
]. In the error-free case, the
completion time is 18 s, and the size of the biochip is 8
8. We randomly generate
20 error cases, and part of the simulation results are shown in Table
3.10
.Wefind
that for this small bioassay with a small number of operations, Method I is more
effective than Method II.
