Background:

Solid-phase amplification (SP-PCR) efficiency depends on immobilized DNA thermal stability.
High denaturation temperatures in SP-PCR can compromise DNA stability.
Formamide (FA) offers lower-temperature DNA denaturation, potentially benefiting SP-PCR.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the impact of formamide (FA) on DNA stability and amplification efficiency in SP-PCR.
To optimize FA denaturation and hybridization parameters for DNA microarrays.
To compare FA-based denaturation with high-temperature denaturation in SP-PCR.

Main Methods:

DNA immobilization on a chip using a crosslinker.
DNA microarray generation via bridge amplification with FA denaturation.
Optimization of FA denaturation and hybridization parameters.
Comparison of FA denaturation with high-temperature denaturation.

Main Results:

Optimized FA parameters achieved a maximum cluster density of 2.83 × 10^4 colonies/mm^2.
FA denaturation required lower template concentration and milder conditions, yielding higher cluster density.
FA denaturation resulted in a 15% higher DNA retention rate compared to high-temperature denaturation.
FA improved hybridization rates on surfaces and immobilized DNA stability.

Conclusions:

Formamide (FA) enhances immobilized DNA stability and amplification efficiency in SP-PCR.
FA enables effective DNA denaturation at lower temperatures, improving hybridization rates.
FA is a promising alternative to high-temperature denaturation for DNA microarrays in SP-PCR.
