Method for multiplying dna, rotation device and system for multiplying dna

Abstract

A method for multiplying DNA includes using a rotation device to rotate a sample carrier about an axis of rotation. The sample carrier has at least one cavity in which a sample liquid containing DNA is received. The cavity is heated to a high temperature value only on a heat input side lying in a rotation plane by using a heating device. As a result of the heating, a convection current is created in the sample liquid in the cavity, the convection current having substantial current components directed perpendicularly to the rotation plane. A circulation time of a liquid particle along a current path of the convection current is predetermined by the speed of the rotation. A rotation device for multiplying DNA and a system for multiplying DNA, are also provided.
