Abstract
Biological material is cycled through a sequence of temperatures by containing the material in a vessel positioned in a chamber maintained at a temperature which is no higher than the lowest temperature in a predetermined temperature sequence. The vessel is then irradiated with varying levels of electromagnetic radiation to heat the material and cycle it through a sequence of predetermined temperatures.
