Abstract:
:Using a simple electronic circuit, a thermocouple can be connected to a chart recorder to measure the actual temperature inside a PCR tube. This allows accurate inspection of the thermocycle program and comparison between thermoprofiles from different thermocyclers. We found that the recording of temperature cycling enabled us to obtain more reliable and reproducible results.
