However, the limitations of Received in revised form 27 April 2016 current diagnostic methods contribute to a lack of proper diagnosis in 62% of patients. Therefore, a robust Accepted 19 May 2016 method for detecting multiple viruses in a single reaction with high specificity, throughput, and speed is required. Keywords: Methods: A multiplex PCR Mag-Array (MPMA) system was developed that integrates three strategies: MPMA system chimeric primer design, temperature switch PCR, and MagPlex-TAG techniques.
