Abstract:
1. A device for amplifying at least one sample of nucleic acid, comprising: a circuit including at least one conductor through which a current is passed to induce a magnetic field; a container support adapted to support at least one container of the nucleic acid sample, wherein at least a portion of the container and the sample are positioned within the magnetic field, and wherein the device includes no heating element that the sample is exposed to other than the magnetic-field-inducing circuit; and a control unit adapted to control the current and the induced magnetic field, wherein the nucleic acid sample is amplified in response to being subjected to the magnetic field, and wherein the magnetic-field-inducing circuit is adapted and operated so that the current is a mini-current and the nucleic-acid amplification is thermal-free.
