Understanding Thermal Cyclers: An Introduction and Overview
Harnessing PCR is fundamental to modern molecular biology. This process hinges on thermal cycler technology
qPCR is a technique used to amplify DNA strands by cycling through specific temperatures to facilitate different stages of the reaction. Building on this, qPCR allows for the quantitation of DNA strands in real time. When purchasing technology for PCR and qPCR, consider the accuracy of the temperature and fluorescence measurements, and the robustness of the instrument, as it will be running for long periods of time.
