Article Snippet: To determine whether the reactions interfered with each other, the reaction chambers in odd numbers were embedded with primers for femA-SHO gene while the chambers in even numbers remained empty during the preparation of the chip, and the reference strain S. hominis ATCC 27844 with a concentration of 10 4 CFU/μl was used as described above.
