A PCR thermal cycler is a laboratory appliance that performs amplification of DNA sequences with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods by precisely cycling temperatures for the denaturation, annealing, and extension of the DNA strand. PCR thermal cyclers are vital instruments employed in the fields of genetics, molecular biology, clinical diagnostics, forensic science, and research laboratories.
With the demand for accurate diagnostics rising, the importance of a thermal cycler for real-time PCR machine, RT PCR machine, or qPCR machine is at an unprecedented elevation. Whether you are testing for pathogens, mutations, or taking gene expression measurements, choosing the right thermal cycler can help to yield accurate, rapid, and reproducible results.
