Устройство ПЦР EdvoCycler

Описание товара

Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is one of the most exciting techniques in modern biology and now you can do it in your classroom! PCR copies a very small starting amount of DNA so it can be analyzed. It won the Nobel Prize in 1993 and is widely used in forensics, medical testing and genetics research. It uses repeated heating and cooling in the presence of the enzyme DNA polymerase to copy a piece of DNA (the template). The exact region copied is determined by short stretches of DNA called primers. The ability to make lots of copies quickly of a particular region of DNA makes PCR a very useful technique in modern biology. The ThermalCycler is a specially designed classroom PCR machine that is easy to use. Your students can amplify DNA from a variety of sources, including from a single hair. The ThermalCycler is pre-programmed with PCR protocols and these are simply selected using the screen. A PCR run takes about 1 or 2 hours (or can be done overnight) and the samples are then visualized using DNA electrophoresis.
