Abstract
The invention relates to a method for determining the reactive state of a chemical reaction process in a reaction mixture (110), in particular an amplification reaction for nucleic acids. The method comprises a viscosity determination, which preferably uses a dynamic viscometer (1). The invention also relates to an improved dynamic viscometer (1) for carrying out said method. The viscometer is characterised by an appropriate choice of material for the resonator (101) and optimised geometric ratios.
