RT-PCR machine was in demand during covid and still continues to be much in demand for detection of pathogens and genetic testing. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) machines are used to amplify small segments of DNA or RNA extracted, using a primer. Amplification is required because extracted sample of DNA may be too small for molecular and genetic analyses.
PCR machines are also called thermal cyclers or thermocyclers. Thermal cyclers are the main equipment for replication and amplification of nucleic acid segments through Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). PCR is a met ..read more
