Re: [DIYbio] Re: first, cheap and effective termal cycler PCR at home

Hi Tom De Mets,

Here is the website where I've bought it: http://gaudi.ch/PocketPCR/ We'll see if it works...

About mineral oil, I don't know. I image that the oil should not have rest of DNA, proteases, DNases, or other molecules that can affect the PCR.

Firstly I will try without oil. Somebody in this post said that if your sample is big enough I will not need the oil.

Hi NicVied,

Can you please share a link to this pocker PCR, thank you.

Are you going to later mineral oil in lieu of a heated lid?
If yes, then will you buy it from a scientific lab supplier or just from some marketplace like amazon?
but I am not at all sure if this will serve the purpose...

I look forward to your response.

Cheers!
TdM

Thanks you all, finally I bought the pocket PCR. It's really cheap but without "hot lid", old school style. I will let you know how it work!

It depends to some extent on how "diy" you want to be and what your skill set is... I cobbled together a serviceable thermocycler that can do a half dozen epi tubes from the cooling block from an old HP workstation I had in my attic, a cartridge heater, an arduino w/ thermocouple, and some other electronic bits and pieces I had lying around. Material cost was basically nothing, but for the time I spent tinkering to make it serviceable I could have picked up a consulting gig and made enough money to buy a nice, shiny, new one...
