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 2):
The method according to  claim 1 , further comprising\n maintaining the T HT  in the region 85-99 degree Celsius for denaturation of the nucleic acid; and maintaining the T LT  in the region 45-75 degree Celsius for annealing of primers or probes onto nucleic acid or for primer extension, the first and the second baths being for thermal cycling the reactor(s) to attain polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification or primer extension.
