Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for thermal processing of nucleic acid in a thermal profile. The method employs at least a first bath and a second bath, the method further employing a reactor holder for holding reactor(s) accommodating reaction material containing the nucleic acid. The method includes maintaining bath mediums in the baths at two different temperatures; and alternately allowing the reactor(s) to be in the two baths in a plurality of thermal cycles to alternately attain a predetermined high target temperature T HT , and a predetermined low target temperature T LT , wherein the bath medium in at least one of the baths is a high thermal conductivity powder.

Claim (Index 7):
The method according to  claim 1 , wherein\n the reactor(s) are in the form of tubes or well plates with at least one feature from the group consisting of\n a) a metallic layer at the bottom tip of the reactor(s), and \n b) the bottom tip of the reactor(s) being sharper with lesser cross-sectional area than the rest of the reactor(s), \n to reduce frictional resistance while the powder receives the reactor(s).
