摘要 |
A nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) performed in a single reaction tube that remains closed after the reaction mixtures for each amplification have been introduced therein. The reaction mixture for the second PCR amplification is sequestered and preserved in an upper portion of the single, closed reaction tube during the first amplification, and subsequently introduced into the reaction space containing the end product of the first PCR amplification, without opening the reaction tube.
