T-COR 8 Real-time PCR Thermocycler
)
The T-COR 8 is the ideal point of care PCR instrument, offering all the features of a large, powerful real-time PCR machine in a small, portable package.
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing is a commonly used technique in molecular biology to identify and quantify bacteria and viruses via amplification of DNA, using thermal cycling to perform the amplification. PCR can be performed in real time (RT-PCR), allowing users to view data whilst it is being acquired.
It is an extremely sensitive technique for biological materials containing a significant quantity of DNA, such as bacteria, making it highly applicable to the detection and identification of biological warfare agents.
