Abstract
Thermal cycling apparatus for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of nucleic acid is provided. Bath media in a first bath and a second bath are maintainable at two different temperatures. A transfer means allows the reactor to be in the two baths in a plurality of thermal cycles to alternately attain a predetermined high target temperature THT and a predetermined low target temperature TLT. A florescent imaging means images the reaction material during the thermal cycling. A powder-cleaning device mechanically removes particles of powder that adhere to the reactor, when powder is the bath medium in use in at least one of the baths.
