The effectiveness of temperature control of thermocyclers in PCR optimization

This study evaluated the effectiveness of thermocycler temperature control, considering the influence of other determinant factors for the optimization of PCR. The reduction in the number of repeated PCR tests, applied in the diagnosis and prognosis of chronic myeloid leukemia at the National Cancer Institute in Brazil, was used as a measure of effectiveness. This indicator was evaluated using samples obtained before and after the temperature...
