Abstract
The present invention provides an apparatus and method for the amplification of a particular sequence(s) of DNA in a sample using polymerased chain reaction. The method of the present invention involves the injection of a reaction mixture into a stream of carrier fluid. The carrier fluid then passes through a plurality of temperature zones in which the polymerase chain reactions take place. The method of the present invention allows the sequential processing of a number of samples.
