Nucleic acid amplification system and method of nucleic acid amplification

A nucleic acid amplification system comprising:

• a single use chemical heater;
• a fluidic consumable on the single use chemical heater, the fluidic consumable being configured to contain a test sample including target nucleic acids;
• a multi-use heater configured to heat the single use chemical heater and/or the fluidic consumable;
• a temperature sensor configured to measure a temperature of the test sample in the fluidic consumable;
• a computer device comprising a processor, a non-volatile memory device, and a controller, wherein the non-volatile memory device comprises instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the controller to control the multi-use heater;
• and
• a detection system configured to detect the target nucleic acids.
