Disclosed is a medicine box counter, which comprise a case body, comprising a bottom seat, an upper cap movably combined with the case body, and a plurality of resilient elements disposed between the bottom seat and the upper cap. As such, the medicine and the bottom seat are directly combined so that when the user exerts a pressure upon the upper cap in the use course, the resilient elements may be indirectly extruded and thus the bottom seat triggers the count mechanism to count, and after the pressure on the upper cap is released, the upper cap automatically restores to its original position by means of the resilient elements, whereby achieving the efficacies of rapid assembly, convenient use, effective medicine-taken count and reduced manufacturing cost are provided.

The present invention discloses a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method, a PCR droplet device and a PCR droplet device array. The steps of the method comprise that a liquid comprising an analyzer is dropped on the heating coil disposed on the droplet device to form a droplet, then dropping a hydrophobic solution to prevent the droplet from evaporating. When an electric current or a voltage is supplied through at least one conducting wire to heat the heating coil, the inside of the droplet can generate buoyancy to drive the analyzer to move to the top of the inside of the droplet. Subsequently, the analyzer is moved to a periphery of the inside of the droplet so as to form a thermal cycle. Therefore the template is amplified by recycling the thermal cycle.
