Ah, PCR! The workhorse of biotechnology. We had a PCR machine donated to us that we hadn't test-driven, so we decided it was time. It turns on and lights up. But does it go through the cycles correctly? Russ put it through its paces with a short (300 bp) piece of DNA, and it appeared to work. We'll run it on a gel tomorrow and post the results... And, it worked beoootifully! So now that we know the machine works we can go ahead and do more involved experiments.
