The first step requires that nucleic acids be extracted from the sample, for example through bead-beating cell lysis. Amplification of the DNA or RNA is then performed using primers specifically targeting the nucleic acid sequence(s) of interest. Finally, observation of the PCR product can be done either with or without enhanced visualization systems, which generally first required the PCR amplicons to be electrophoresed.
