OUR TEAMLAB 1 WRITE-UP
Initial Machine TestingThe images above depict our OpenPCR machine. It performs polymerase chain reactions (PCR), a process in which a particular DNA sequence is amplified. The DNA sequence can then be easily analyzed. The OpenPCR machine accomplishes the amplification of a DNA sequence through a series of heating and cooling sequences.
When we unplugged the LCD screen from the circuit board, the machine stopped displaying information on the LCD screen. When we unplugged the white wire that connects the circuit board to the heating block, the heating block would not heat up.
We first tested our OpenPCR machine (machine #6) on October 25, 2012. We ran the machine through a preprogrammed sample test run. At first we were not getting consistent temperature readings outputting to the LCD screen; however, after we rebooted the OpenPCR machine and ran the test again the machine worked perfectly.
