In many applications, including during research and testing, it is not uncommon for very small samples of DNA or RNA to be provided as the test material. This can be very difficult for testing purposes without the use of the technology offered by Applied Biosystems PCR systems.
The benefit that Applied Biosystems PCR offers is a precise, accurate and rapid option to generate large amounts of the sample DNA or RNA to create enough for accuracy in testing. With this technology in the lab, even very small sample sizes can be literally replicated to the volume needed to run the desired tests and analysis processes.
Additionally, with the proven track record in labs using Applied Biosystems technology and equipment, there is never an issue with reliability. This is an international company that is part of the umbrella company of Thermo Fisher, which is a leader in the field of applied analytics and testing.
Digital and Real-Time Results
With the use of the different options in Applied Biosystems PCR systems, it is possible to have real-time as well as digital types of PCR or polymerase chain reaction processes. Both of these options are designed to run the process through the three standard phases.
These phases start with denaturing or breaking apart the DNA strands, followed by annealing, which cools the solution This cooling process must to precisely controlled as to temperature and time, allowing for the primer and original DNA strands to attach together. Then, the extending state occurs, completing the process.
During the extending stage, which also includes precise heat control and timing, the PCR occurs, allowing for replication and the addition of the necessary DNA. With multiple repetitions of the cycle, the exact sample size can be dramatically increased in a very short period of time.
