Realtime-PCR System, CFX Connect
Function: Used to detect real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). It monitors the amplification of a targeted DNA molecule during the PCR, i.e. in real-time, and not at its end, as in conventional PCR. Real-time PCR can be used quantitatively.

Arktik Thermal Cycler
Function: The thermocyclers are used to amplify DNS and RNA samples by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). It raises and lowers the temperature of the samples in a holding block in discrete, pre-programmed steps, allowing for denaturing and reannealing of samples with various reagents.
Location: Lab 116
Specs: Thermo Scientific
C1000 Touch Thermal Cycler
Function: The thermocyclers are used to amplify DNA and RNA samples by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). It raises and lowers the temperature of the samples in a holding block in discrete, pre-programmed steps, allowing for denaturing and reannealing of samples with various reagents.
Location: Lab 116
