Disclosed are methods for identifying the presence or absence of a target nucleic acid from one or more organisms in a biological sample, said method comprising: (a) spinning the sample at a rotational velocity sufficient to pellet cellular debris and fluorescence inhibitors present within the sample and reduce fluorescence interference or quenching in the sample; and (b) directly amplifying and detecting the target nucleic acid in the sample.

A method of RNA synthesis via fluid flow apparatus. The method may involve introducing into a first fluid flow module, via a plurality of inlet ports, a plurality of reactants comprising: at least one nucleoside triphosphate (NTP), a reaction buffer, and DNA, a DNA based compound or a DNA based mixture; allowing at least some of the reactants to react within a reaction channel or well within the first module of the flow system; retaining or recirculating the DNA at the first reactor module and allowing reaction products of the reactants to flow into a first fluidic filtration module; and filtering the reaction products within the first filtration module.
