Standard PCR systems require users to set a predefined number of cycles relative to the assay and the input amount. This requires quantifying input material and splitting samples of varying inputs ...

PCR has allowed scientists to amplify scarce amounts of DNA and engage in the type of research that will help us understand the genetics of who we are, why people are prone to developing certain ...

Designing reproducible PCR assays involves optimizing multiple moving targets, from standardizing each component in sometimes minute reaction volumes to planning ahead to ensure long-term and secure ...

Despite its utility, PCR’s main limitation is that it requires precise cycles of heating and cooling to amplify DNA. The thermal cyclers that perform this operation are clunky, relatively expensive, ...

A team of researchers from the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine has developed a new method for target DNA sequence amplification, testing and analysis. This new technique, or ...
