CONVECTIVELY DRIVEN POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION THERMAL CYCLER

摘要

Building on LLNL's history of making field deployable instruments we have designed and fabricated a new convectively driven thermal chamber for PCR that is inexpensive to manufacture and has low power consumption. Both a 58 and 160 base pair segment of a multiple cloning site fragment of DNA have been successfully amplified in the convectively driven thermal cycler.
