1. A method of carrying out an amplification reaction, said method comprising supplying to a reagent well in a disposable unit, a reaction mixture comprising:

  • (a) a sample which contains or is suspected of containing a target nucleic acid sequence;

    (b) primers, nucleotides and enzymes required to effect said amplification reaction; and

    (c) a buffer system, wherein the pH of said buffer system is from 8.7-9.0, and subjecting the disposable unit to thermal cycling conditions such that any target nucleic acid present within the sample is amplified;

    wherein the disposable unit comprises a thermally conducting layer and a facing layer having one or more reagent wells up to 1000 microns in depth defined therebetween, and wherein said reaction mixture further comprises a detergent and/or a blocking agent.
