Apparatus and method of amplifying segments of nucleic acid in a mixture sample via polymerase chain reaction

Abstract

An apparatus for amplifying segments of nucleic acid in a mixture sample via polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has a body including a heating element and a Mixture sample conduit. The heating element includes a denaturation zone, an extension zone and an annealing zone arranged on the body The Mixture sample conduit includes an inlet, an outlet and an intermediate section that passes serially through the denaturation zone, the annealing zone and the extension zone for multiple cycles. A related method for amplifying segments of nucleic acid in a mixture sample via polymerase chain reaction is also described.
