| Summary: | Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is the basis of recombinant and other molecular biological techniques. Availability of
cheap and robust PCR platforms enables the tests to be performed easily, even in resource constrained settings. Herein
we compared the efficacy of a portable thermal cycler ( Palm PCRTM G1-12 System) for rapid DNA amplification against
the standard Peltier-based thermal cycler using plasmid DNA and genomic DNA in single and multiplex PCR experiments.
Our study revealed that the Palm PCRTM G1-12 System could be a portable DNA amplification system to conduct various
molecular techniques, especially in places where resources are limited. |
