In this study, we describe a simple and efficient method for on-chip storage of reagents for point-of-care (POC) diagnostics. The method is based on gelification of all reagents required for on-chip PCR-based diagnostics as a ready-to-use product. The result reported here is a key step towards the development of a ready and easy to use fully integrated Lab-on-a-chip (LOC) system for fast, cost-effective and efficient POC diagnostics analysis.
