This page from my notebook lists the chemicals which I put together into a single, purple-capped tube on September 8th, 1983, in a reaction I labeled PCR01. No cycling, only one tube, no variations, ...

PCR, or Polymerase Chain Reaction, is a revolutionary molecular biology technique that allows for the rapid amplification of specific DNA sequences. It is an essential tool in various fields, ...

Taq polymerase is the heat-stable (thermostable) DNA polymerase extracted from the thermophilic bacteria Thermus aquaticus. Its predominant function is in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique ...

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a fundamental molecular biology tool that scientists use to amplify and analyze genetic material, such as DNA and RNA. PCR involves the enzymatic amplification of ...

Quantitative PCR (qPCR) instruments that operate in real-time need high sensitivity and the most favorable signal-to-noise ratio possible. The bandwidth of excitation, center wavelength (CWL) and ...
