When the first thermal cyclers for the polymerase chain reaction came out in the 1980s, they were as expensive as a market driven by grant money could make them. Things haven’t got much better ...

Thermal cycler temperature accuracy may be a critical factor in the success or failure of a PCR reaction. Temperature accuracy is particularly important during annealing temperature optimization, ...

Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. has introduced the T100 thermal cycler, a compact, reliable, and economical 96-well PCR instrument with an easy-to-use graphical touch screen. The T100 thermal cycler is ...

How it Works: Real Time PCR Brendan Maher The instrumentation is basic: a thermal cycler for amplification, a light source for excitation of fluorescent probes (see chemistries below), a camera for ...

Pune: Most laboratories complain of shortage of thermal cyclers, a machine used to amplify samples for RT-PCR tests, though the government wants testing to be stepped up following the recent rise ...
