Abstract: The present invention relates generally to monitoring of biochemical amplification reactions using electromagnetic radiation, and more particularly to an apparatus for optical monitoring of isothermal and thermally-cycled amplification reactions using radiation ranging from the ultraviolet region through the infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Moreover, the method discussed herein could be similarly applied to any process that results in biochemical amplification, regardless of the specific technique employed.
