Based on the amazing PicoPCR by <a href=\"https:\/\/ch.linkedin.com\/in\/yanwuguo\">Yanwo Guo<\/a> that demonstrated that a thermocycler can be run from USB power by reducing the number of vials and shrinking down the heat-block, the PocketPCR is designed for efficient manufacturing even at low volume. The design is built on a single circuit board (PCB) with an AVR M0 32bit processor, an OLED display and a rotary encoder to set navigate the menus. All device can be operated stand alone and all parameters can be set without the need of a computer or smartphone.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-874\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gaudi.ch\/GaudiLabs\/wp-content\/uploads\/PCRExp-300x280.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"280\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.gaudi.ch\/GaudiLabs\/wp-content\/uploads\/PCRExp-300x280.png 300w, http:\/\/www.gaudi.ch\/GaudiLabs\/wp-content\/uploads\/PCRExp-768x717.png 768w, http:\/\/www.gaudi.ch\/GaudiLabs\/wp-content\/uploads\/PCRExp-1024x956.png 1024w, http:\/\/www.gaudi.ch\/GaudiLabs\/wp-content\/uploads\/PCRExp.png 1084w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The heatblock is built from an aluminium PCBs that incorporate the winding for heating and a precision temperature probe.
