A 5 × 5 oligonucleotide microarray for detecting 4 respiratory tract viruses (severe acute respiratory syndrome–associated coronavirus, influenza A virus, influenza B virus, and enterovirus) with inner controls was arranged on the inner surface of a specially designed Eppendorf cap with a flat, optically transparent window. We aimed to develop a microarray-in-a-tube that integrates RT-PCR and a DNA microarray for detecting and distinguishing 4 viruses causing human acute respiratory tract infection, SARS coronavirus, influenza A and B viruses, and enterovirus. The system (Fig. 1 ) has 3 parts, which include an optically transparent plastic cap with an oligonucleotide microarray on the inner surface, a black inner vessel that contains hybridization solution, and the body of the Eppendorf tube. ./cache/cord-301167-101lnq4f.txt ./txt/cord-301167-101lnq4f.txt
