This is an advert for a PCR (polymerase chain reaction) machine, used to make millions of copies of a specific DNA sequence without being quite as labor-intensive. Like, they can set it running and go home to dinner, instead of doing all the heating and cooling and stuff manually. It's a big time-saver.
But it doesn't hurt that they made it funny. Geek/Techie humor is an interesting thing. This had my lab geek buddies Thought I'd share.

OMG... That was actually pretty funny. I'm so going to show that in my class whenever I get to teach grade 12 biology.

Definitely.
I am sad that I don't really have anyone (other than y'all) to share this with anymore. Too many of my IRL geeky friends are the wrong kind of geeks.

Yes! And then the chorus of "Who's the daddy?" just after that. I nearly ruined my laptop with a smoothie spit-take.
