Improvements in thermal cycler for pcr

摘要

An apparatus for performing a polymerase chain reaction may have an assembly, a heated cover, and a computer. The assembly is capable of cycling samples through a series of temperature excursions and the computer controls the process of cycling the samples through the series of temperature excursions. The assembly includes: a sample block that is configured to receive a plurality of sample vials, a plurality of Peltier thermal electric devices, a heat sink, and a memory device that stores data related to the assembly.
