Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The instrument used to amplify DNA is the Thermocycler. It is a device that uses a precise cycling of temperature changes to allow for the amplification of DNA through the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) process. The other options listed are instruments used for different purposes, such as separating DNA fragments (gel electrophoresis), measure the absorbance of solutions (spectrophotometer), separating mixtures using centrifugal force (centrifuge), and measuring glucose in urine (hemastix).
