Abstract
A real time polymerase chain reaction ('PCR') monitoring apparatus includes, a microchip-type PCR tube that has a PCR solution-containing PCR chamber, a micro-heater, a detection unit detecting a PCR product signal based on the PCR solution, a plurality of modules, each of which includes the abovementioned elements in addition to a cooling fan and a control unit controlling the micro-heater and the cooling fan to adjust the temperature of the PCR chamber, a base instrument that comprises a power supply unit connected to the modules and a data communication unit connected to the control unit of each of the modules, and a display unit displaying data from the data communication unit, wherein the control unit of each of the modules independently controls at least one of both the detection unit and the temperature of the PCR chamber of the PCR tube in each of the modules.
