Abstract
The present invention provides a method for PCR amplification reaction that can reduce the time required for amplification reaction of nucleic acid by PCR using the target nucleotide molecule as a template, and an apparatus used for the method. The method comprises using a PCR reaction vessel in which a heater for local heating, which can thermally contact with a solution storing section with an extremely small capacity for storing a PCR reaction solution and a reaction solution stored in the solution storing section directly, is placed; feeding a pulsed current to the placed heater; and carrying out a thermal cycle of PCR reaction, so that high-speed PCR amplification reaction can be carried out.
