Polymerase chain reaction, or PCR, is a laboratory technique used to make multiple copies of a segment of DNA. PCR is very precise and can be used to amplify, or copy, a specific DNA target from a ...

When the first thermal cyclers for the polymerase chain reaction came out in the 1980s ... largely shutting STEM classes and biohackers out of the PCR market. That may be about to change, though ...

View Full Profile. Learn about our Editorial Policies. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a fundamental molecular biology tool that scientists use to amplify and analyze genetic material, such as DNA ...

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 ...

This handbook explores key strategies for optimizing qPCR workflows, from sample preparation to data analysis, helping you ...

A new discovery has reshaped our understanding of PCR chip technology: water vapor, not air expansion, is the primary culprit behind bubble formation ...

10× KLA reaction buffer (pH 9.2): 500 mM Tris base, 160 mM (NH 4) 2 SO 4, 25 mM MgCl 2, 1% Tween 20. Note, the pH is 9.2 (the optimal for long PCR) without adjustment; some vectors may require pH ...

Forensic DNA profiling uses polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify short tandem repeats (STRs), which are highly variable DNA regions, typically with four repeating bases. This variability helps ...

Since the emergence of COVID-19 in late 2019, the gold standard in testing for the disease has been a nuclear-derived technique: real-time reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction, or real-time ...

What is PCR and how is it different from real time RT–PCR? RT–PCR is a variation of PCR, or polymerase chain reaction. The two techniques use the same process except that RT–PCR has an added step of ...
