pcr (polymerase chain reaction)

How is PCR Performed?

The PCR process involves several steps:
Sample Collection: A sample is collected from the patient, such as a swab from the cervix or a blood sample.
DNA Extraction: DNA is extracted from the collected sample.
Amplification: The extracted DNA is mixed with specific primers, nucleotides, and enzymes, then subjected to thermal cycling to amplify the target DNA sequence.
Detection: The amplified DNA is detected and analyzed, often using gel electrophoresis or real-time PCR methods.
