AURA PCR-2

Amplication of DNA through the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a highly sensitive method capable of copying millions of DNA molecules from just a single molecule. Because of the extreme sensitivity of this method, any carry-over product from previous reactions can result in false positives or extra bands. Carry-over contamination can be avoided by using appropriate protocols and equipments. Among them, exposure to UV light (300 to 400 nm) within an enclosed area is recommended. Aura PCR is a very easy to operate cabinet specically designed for this application. Operating mode: when the normal...
