A polymerase chain reaction is a test method currently used in almost all process steps of a genetic manipulation experiment. It involves the amplification of the given genetic material targeted by the detection test. In consideration of the graphical user interface development environment or user accessibility, if a PC with the windows operating system or its embedded version can be employed as a host, it will contribute significantly to resource saving, including development-related human resources and time, along with enabling a broad use of the product. In this study, we focus on the low cost implementation of a PCR thermal cycler for the personal usage. It is aimed to drastically reduce the product development time and maintenance/repair costs. To achieve this, we implement the functions for biochemical process in a local embedded system, and the functions of data management, including the PCR protocol, and user-interface management are implemented on a PC.
聚合酶链反应是一种目前几乎用于基因操作实验所有流程步骤的测试方法。它涉及对检测测试所针对的特定遗传物质进行扩增。考虑到图形用户界面开发环境或用户可及性，如果能使用装有Windows操作系统或其嵌入式版本的个人电脑作为主机，将极大地有助于节省资源，包括与开发相关的人力资源和时间，同时还能使产品得到广泛应用。在本研究中，我们专注于个人使用的聚合酶链反应热循环仪的低成本实现。其目标是大幅缩短产品开发时间并降低维护/维修成本。为实现这一目标，我们在本地嵌入式系统中实现生化过程的功能，而数据管理功能，包括PCR协议和用户界面管理，则在个人电脑上实现。
