1. A method of performing real-time PCR comprising the steps of:

  • a) continuously moving a bolus of test solution containing real-time PCR reagents in a channel;

    b) moving a carrier fluid in said channel, sequentially alternating with a test bolus;

    c) cycling the temperature in a defined section of the channel in order to achieve PCR, wherein said defined section of the channel has a uniform temperature, which temperature cycles in time; and

    d) measuring the intensity of the fluorescent signal at a plurality of locations along said defined section of said channel.
