Your PCR reaction didn't work. Even the controls didn't work. Your colleagues just shake their heads and say to do it again. This is a familiar scenario in molecular biology labs everywhere. In the last year, several products have appeared in the market to take some of the guesswork out of PCR. Starting with this issue, LabConsumer will be profiling some of these products.
