Abstract
A detection apparatus configured for PCR testing includes a carrier structure and a temperature detection module. The carrier structure is configured to carry a test tube, and the test tube is configured for containing a reagent and a specimen. The temperature detection module is disposed on the carrier structure and includes a heat transfer medium and a temperature sensor. The heat capacity of the heat transfer medium is approximately equal to a preset value, so as to match heat capacity of the reagent. The temperature sensor is configured to sense a temperature of the heat transfer medium. In addition, a method for detecting a temperature of the detection apparatus is also provided.
