PCR

Ok, for anybody who has had any doubts that I am NOT a complete nerd, you're wrong, and here's the proof. This is a promotional video from a company called BioRad that makes all sorts of different kinds of lab equipment, including PCR machines. PCR (polymerase chain reaction) is a method to exponentially amplify a sample of DNA. It's used a lot to help in crime scenes, since they can use a tiny DNA sample like a few skin cells or a hair and amplify it, and then possibly get a suspect.

I've never actually performed PCR myself, but I still work in a lab, and I find this to be really funny, but like I said, I am a nerd.



As a side note, I think the old guy who sings in here is actually the inventor of PCR.
