3. Overview • The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a scientific technique in molecular biology to amplify a single or a few copies of a piece of DNA across several orders of magnitude, generating thousands to millions of copies of a particular DNA sequence. The method relies on thermal cycling, consisting of cycles of repeated heating and cooling of the reaction for DNA melting and enzymatic replication of the DNA. Primers (short DNA fragments) containing sequences complementary to the target region along with a DNA polymerase (after which the method is named) are key components to enable selective and repeated amplification. As PCR progresses, the DNA generated is itself used as a template for replication, setting in motion a chain reaction in which the DNA template is exponentially amplified. PCR can be extensively modified to perform a wide array of genetic manipulations. • The PCR process can be divided into three stages: Exponential amplification, Levelling off stage and Plateau http://www.ipcalculus.com 2010 © IPCalculus Services info@ipcalculus.com

4. Technology classification • As shown in the above mind map PCR is further categorized into Primers, PCR Reagents, Type, PCR probes, Thermal cycler, Real-time PCR detection system, DNA polymerase, Nucleotides, PCR plastic consumables, buffers and application. • This is the broad level classification of PCR. We at IPCalculus drill down each level class into niche technology areas. For example above mind map, we have categorize “PCR Type”, “DNA Polymerase”, “PCR Plastic Consumables” and “Application” into the niche technology areas. Similarly we drill down other categories up to the last possible level. • Our client-tailored report will help to identify competitors and track their IP activity even in to the niche segment of technology areas. • Note: To access complete classification & comprehensive landscape report, please contact us at +1-619-618-0414 ORsend your query on http://www.ipcalculus.com/contactus.php http://www.ipcalculus.com 2010 © IPCalculus Services info@ipcalculus.com
