Thermal cycler

it's precise, timely, and rapid with temperature changes.

Denature DNA

samples are heated for one to several minutes to denature (separate into single strands) the target DNA

Anneal primers

temperature is lowered for one to several minutes. Allows left and right primers to anneal (base pairs) to their complementary sequences. The primers are designed to bracket the DNA region to be amplified.

Extend primers

temperature is raised for one to several minutes. This allows Taq polymerase to attach at each priming site and extend (synthesize) a new DNA strand.
