The PocketPCR is a low-cost, small size thermocycler<\/strong> capable of activating biological reactions such as polymerase chain reaction<\/strong> (PCR). PCR is a method widely used in molecular biology to make copies of a specific DNA segment. Applications of the technique include DNA cloning for sequencing, analysis of genetic fingerprints, amplification of ancient DNA and gene cloning.<\/p>\n

Simpler, smaller and more affordable.<\/strong> This ultra portable and compact thermocycler was designed with the goal to bring the cost down to affordable price for anyone who wants to do some Do-It-Your-Self biology with a DNA starter kit<\/a> in his kitchen. The PocketPCR can be run from a simple USB power adapter. The device can be operated stand alone and all parameters can be set without the need of a computer or smartphone.<\/p>\n

The PocketPCR comes as a easy to assemble kit<\/strong>. The electronics and heat-block are pre-assembled and tested. Detailed instructions<\/a> are included. Runs from any 2A USB power adapter (adapter and cable not included in the kit). An optional case can be 3D printed in any color you want from a 3D model file provided<\/a>. The device can also be run without case.<\/p>\n

Specifications<\/h4>\n

Despite its small size, the PocketPCR is a full-fledged thermocycler with features like the large laboratory machines. Cycle times can be individually set and temperatures are controlled with a great accuracy. Fully compatible with standard plasticware and reagents.<\/p>\n
