Abstract

The following is a brief overview of representative instruments and categories of instruments central to the practice of molecular diagnostics and related fields. Some of these instruments have been introduced in other chapters. While a comprehensive survey of all such equipment is beyond the scope of this book, more extensive information is readily available from manufacturers’ websites and brochures.
