 You cannot use DNA replication to amplify a piece of DNA. you must use PCR approach for this purpose.

You have to go for PCR method. DNA replication method simply copies the DNA.

The key difference include 1.Type of polymerase: In DNA replication there are many DNA polymerases but in PCR, thermostable DNA polymerases are derived from bacteria or archaea. 2.Length of DNA: In PCR the length of the DNA used is much smaller when compared to that of replication method. 3.Features of polymerase used: High fidelity, speed, and repair are the features required for DNA replication.  PCR reactions utilises simpler polymerases that doesn’t have rich feature.
