A thermal cycler makes it possible to multiply (“amplify”) very small initial quantities of DNA for the purposes of analysis. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) utilizes repeated cycles of heating and cooling of the reacting mixture in the presence of the DNA polymerase, enzyme for the purpose of copying a piece of DNA (the template). Short lengths of DNA, so-called primers, determine precisely which section of the template is to be copied. The samples are later made visible by means of DNA electrophoresis. The possibility of quickly making multiple copies of a particular section of DNA makes PCR an extremely useful technique in modern biology.
3 operating modes: display screen, PC or tablet.
Edit, create, delete, programming is simplified and infinitely customizable.
From 5 ° C to 100 ° C in seconds!
The amplification times are short (25 to 70 min depending on the experiment) due to Peltier effect module.
With a possibilities to store samples at 4°C at the end of amplification.
