Scientific discovery has always depended on the tools at its disposal, but today’s researchers are operating 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 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 particularly exciting path forward is simplifying the hardware so PCR can be used outside a laboratory. “These machines, really all they do is heat and cool a sample,” says geneticist and ...

Life Technologies began offering digital PCR in 2009 after acquiring long-time collaborator BioTrove. It now sells two machines that can be used for both digital PCR and qPCR, the OpenArray and ...

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 ...

With the two RT–PCR machines that EDC has donated, NOPH will be able to process up to 500 swab tests in one day and release the results in one to two days. “This is just the first of many ...
