Apparatus for performing oxygen reactions and / or molecular biology reactions and methods for amplifying nucleic acids and processes for filling

摘要

A heating plate(s) for a polymerase chain amplification (PCA) system comprising three distinct zones operating at different temperatures corresponding to the three cycles of the PCA, is new. Independent claims are included for the following: (1) a polymerase chain amplification (PCA) system has plate(s) with reaction chambers and heating plate(s) as above.; (2) PCA using the above system where the plate has reservoir(s) for filling with a fluid including DNA samples and supplying this fluid to the chambers in the plate that have already been given markers for specific DNA sequences, where the plate is moved relative to the heating plate according to the cycle of the PCA.
