It’s called OpenPCR, and it’ll make science-style DIYers drool. PCR stands for polymerase chain reaction, and it’s a crucial tool for just about any type of modern molecular biology.

The OpenPCR build-it-yourself kit brings down the cost of PCR, a fundamental process in genomic research, by 80 percent. A typical PCR machine costs $3000.

The OpenPCR box replicates small samples of DNA until there are billions of molecules to work with, effectively allowing you “to identify the mold on that leftover pizza or do a very discreet ...

PCR试验能检查一个人有没有感染病毒如HIV病毒和埃博拉病毒等，有没有感染细菌如结核杆菌等，或者有没有容易患病的遗传变异。在家庭中，PCR试验还能测试食品安全性，监控水质。
