PCR WORKSTATION

Polymerase chain reaction* (PCR) is a simple and inexpensive technique to make multiple copies of a targeted nucleotide sequence from a DNA sample and to amplify sequences from small samples. This technique is widely used in genetics laboratories that work with DNA and RNA.

Because PCR amplification is extremely sensitive to contamination, prevention of contamination requires good laboratory practices to minimize external or cross-contamination during reagent preparation, sample preparation, and sample amplification.

*Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a patented process owned by Hoffman La Roche.
