thermal cycler

thermal cycler
A laboratory device in which a polymerase chain reaction is carried out repeatedly in cycles which in turn amplifies the sample DNA segments. The instrument contains a thermal block which contains the DNA samples and can precisely control the internal temperature. Reference : [ Thermal Cycler] online educational resource.
