Polymerase chain reaction, or PCR, is a laboratory technique ... the temperature of the sample in automatic, programmed steps. Initially, the mixture is heated to denature, or separate, the ...

Most genotyping is performed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with defined oligonucleotide ... the final elongation step should not be shorter than 10 min. Otherwise, split peaks by 1 bp may ...

1. Prepare a 40 ml 1 % agarose gel in 0.5X TBE, containing 0.5 µg/ml ethidium bromide. Each gel will be shared by 2 groups on the same bench. 3. Each group will load PCR and control samples on one ...

PCR amplifies DNA in a three-step process: denaturation ... The coils rapidly heat a reaction block up to the 99°C denaturation temperature, the fan brings that down to the 68°C needed for ...
