The principle in this process is the same as conventional PCR, the only difference being the time of amplification. The buffer used in this PCR increases the affinity of Taq DNA polymerases for short single-stranded DNA fragments, reducing the time required for successful primer annealing to just 5 seconds.
Applications
Fast cycling PCR is essential for processes requiring quick cycles and also helps in the rapid diagnosis of diseases and mutations.
Procedure
General procedure: 1. Denaturation 2. Annealing 3. Extension
