Robust and Efficient Heating Block for traditional PCR reactions

In the age of digital and real-time PCR, traditional PCR may have been cornered to the backseat. However, for isolation of large amounts of amplified DNA, it is still considered to be cheaper using traditional PCR. Hence, it still finds a place today in most research laboratories. Identification and amplification of viral cDNA was critical for our quantification purposes especially for obtaining large samples of cDNA to be used as standards. Hence, we needed a robust and relatively cheaper thermal block for quick amplification and recovery using conventional electrophoresis.
