PCR technology: principles and applications for DNA amplificationPolymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology is a revolutionary innovation which enables scientists to rapidly generate large amounts of genetic material from a slight trace which would otherwise be too small to analyze. With applications in both research and diagnostics, PCR is becoming a standard procedure in biotechnology and medical diagnostic laboratories. This book is an introduction and guide to the new technology, covering the basic methodologies and their applications in research and medicine, emphasizing practical aspects. Each chapter is written by pioneers in the field and most include detailed protocols and favorite PCR "recipes". Students and researchers in all areas of biotechnology and molecular biology will find this book the introduction to PCR they've been looking for. |

It is very important that the reaction reaches a temperature at which complete
strand separation occurs. A temperature of about 94°C should be adequate in
most cases. As soon as the sample reaches 94°C, it can be cooled to the
annealing ...

This is a sophisticated approach to temperature control and it will work best with
a block that is thermically homogenous from the start. This is also the only
method that will actually take into account the lag period normally encountered
during ...
