Setting Up PCR Programs

and Methods 5

Introduction

This chapter describes how to use the HOLD, CYCL, and AUTO

programs to create your own PCR programs. You will learn how

to store, access, edit, and print these programs.

This chapter also describes how to setup a PCR method, in

which you specify a sequence of programs for a run. For

example, pre-PCR incubations, PCR cycling, and post-PCR

incubations can be linked together in a single method. You will

also learn how to store, edit, and print the methods you create.

At the end of this chapter, you will find information on the displays

found in the HOLD, CYCL, and AUTO programs.
