Thermocycler, Generic
- Page Type
- Product Code
- Definition
- A thermocycler is an automated laboratory apparatus intended to amplify specific segments of double stranded nucleic acids isolated from a clinical sample via the polymerase chain reaction process. The nucleic acid sequences are amplified in the presence of specific primers, buffers, and thermostable polymerases, by raising and lowering the thermal block temperature at specific rates using pre-programmed steps, based on the specifications of the test which is being run. It may integrate interchangeable blocks of different materials or to accommodate different well and tube formats.
- Physical State
- Should not include real-time thermocyclers or instruments with analyzers for fluorescence, other measuring techniques, or detection methods or integrate sample and/or reagent handling.
- Technical Method
- A thermocycler is intended amplify specific sequences of double stranded nucleic acids using the polymerase chain process. The device includes a thermal block with holes designed to accommodate the insertion of special tubes or plates holding the assay reaction mixtures and houses an internal computer-controlled, rapid heating/cooling unit. The thermal block¿s temperature is raised and lowered at specific rates using pre-programmed steps based on the specifications of the test which is being run.
