Abstract

Every polymerase chain reaction (PCR) requires use of a temperature cycler for about 3 hours. Since there are many diagnostic tests using this technology, it is important that robust but inexpensive machinery is available. Such a standalone machine has been designed and used to analyse an interesting family in which another and her 2 children were diagnosed as having cystic fibrosis.
