Examples relate to techniques for performing a nucleic acid amplification reaction. The method includes generating a nucleic acid solution comprising a plurality of nucleic acid molecules, and combining the nucleic acid solution with a plurality of chamber particles. Each chamber particle includes a chamber for receiving the nucleic acid solution, wherein the chamber receives, at most, one of the plurality of nucleic acid molecules. Each chamber particle also includes reagents for causing a polymerase chain reaction within the chamber. The method further includes inducing nucleic acid amplification to generate an amplified nucleic acid, and performing a detection process to detect the presence of the amplified nucleic acid within the chamber.
