Best practices, especially if you are considering making decisions about your health based upon the results, would be to have a dedicated sterile/sanitized lab space. But there is really no reason why you couldn't do a PCR based assay on your kitchen counter. The PCR reaction itself needs to be tightly temperature controlled, but that's what the thermocycler does, fluctuations in ambient temperature of the room shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks Bryan! Sorry I'm such a newbie, but... Do I really need a lab space to do this? Meaning, a room in my house which is clean, sterile, temperature-stable? Or, if I'm careful (and maybe quick) can I get away with doing the PCR anywhere (let's say kitchen counter) as long as I clean the equipment and accessories thoroughly before and after use?
