Effects of Superparamagnetic Nanoparticle Clusters on the Polymerase Chain Reaction

Effects of Superparamagnetic Nanoparticle Clusters on the Polymerase Chain Reaction

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method is widely used for the reproduction and amplification of specific DNA segments, and a novel PCR method using nanomaterials such as gold nanoparticles has recently been reported. This paper reports on the effects of superparamagnetic nanoparticles on PCR amp...
