Abstract (en)

The present invention is directed to methods, devices and computer programs for preparing nucleic acids from a template nucleic acid by subjecting a sample to thermocycles. After a first number of thermocycles, a partial amount of the reaction mixture is being subjected to a second number of thermocycles. This two step amplification method allows to speed up overall reaction time without affecting the limit of detection.
