The $5,000 equipment grant from the Education Foundation of Kennebunk and Arundel has transformed how students learn ...

They took a ThermoFisher Scientific 7500 Fast PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) machine, isolated its daughter-software, and confined it into a pipeline that automatically signs each result with ...

PCR-Machines are based on Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and produce copies of genes exponentially. The PCR cycling reactions are carried out in an automated thermocycler, which is capable of ...

The mixture is then placed in an RT–PCR machine. The machine cycles through temperatures that heat and cool the mixture to trigger specific chemical reactions that create new, identical copies of the ...

The PCR machine increases and decreases the temperature of the sample in automatic, programmed steps. Initially, the mixture is heated to denature, or separate, the double-stranded DNA template ...

A few essential ions and salts The PCR process then uses these ingredients to mimic the natural DNA replication process that occurs in cells. To automate this process, a machine called a ...

The process is now as simple as peeling off the seal, adding the sample directly to the tube, and placing it in a real-time PCR machine for testing.” By eliminating the need for specialised ...

This is the first PCR machine to be installed in a CHC in the district. Tests can be conducted on four people simultaneously and results will be available within one-and-a-half hours. Currently ...
