The Impact of the Temperature Performance of Thermal (PCR) Cyclers on the Generated Results, and the Obligation for Regular Validation of PCR Thermal Cyclers
The Impact of the Temperature Performance of Thermal (PCR) Cyclers on the Generated Results, and the Obligation for Regular Validation of PCR Thermal Cyclers
23 Nov 2015This application note demonstrates a sensitive, multi-channel temperature measurement system for the dynamic temperature validation of thermal cyclers. The study found that laboratories performing cycling reactions should validate their cycler at least twice a year, although a more frequent validation is preferable.
