Real-time thermal cyclers
A real-time thermal cycler is a laboratory equipment that allows the real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) to be carried out efficiently and quickly; by means of the automatic and cyclical realization of the temperature changes that are required for the amplification of a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) chain; from a thermostable enzyme. The objective of this type of PCR is to detect and quantify the specific nucleic acid sequences by means of fluorescent molecules in the reaction, where the increase in fluorescence is proportional to the increase in the amount of amplified DNA molecules in the reaction.
PCR and COVID techniques
The polymerase chain reaction popularly known as PCR, is a Molecular Biology technique, widely used today, in the clinical and scientific field, because it allows the amplification of DNA fragments, starting from a very small amount of this biomolecule.
How does a thermal cycler work?
A thermal cycler is a Molecular Biology Laboratory Equipment, used in the amplification of DNA molecules by the PCR technique (polymerase chain reaction), because it is capable of performing temperature cycles necessary for amplifying The DNA strands.
¿Cómo cuidar tu Termociclador?
Como es bien conocido, un termociclador es un aparato usado en Biología Molecular que permite realizar los ciclos de temperaturas necesarios para la amplificación de diversas hebras de ADN en la técnica de la PCR (Reacción en cadena de la polimerasa).
El termociclador: un descubrimiento perfecto
El termociclador o secuenciador térmico es un equipo que permite la reacción en cadena de la polimerasa (PCR) de forma eficiente y rápida, mediante la realización automática y cíclica de los cambios de temperatura que se requieren para la amplificación de una cadena de ácido desoxirribonucleico (ADN), a partir de una enzima termoestable. La PCR posibilita que una pequeña cantidad de moléculas de ADN sea amplificada muchas veces, de manera exponencial.
