Single-Drop Fluorimeter This instrument that detects fluorescence; quality is related to the amount of florescent material and, less directly, proportional to the amount of the molecule being detected. How the Fluorescence Technique Works A very sensitive detection technique that uses the generation of light by a molecule due to excitation by shining light of a shorter wavelength. Procedure Smart Phone Camera Settings Type of Smartphone: Apple iPhone 5 Flash: Inactivate ISO setting: 2000 White Balance: N/A Exposure: N/A Saturation: N/A Contrast: N/A Calibration 1. Turn on the fluorimeter and put it on top of the table. 2. Using plastic plates,or other kind of structure adjust the height of the fluorimeter box. 3. Place the cradle with your phone in camera mode on. 4. Make sure that the distance between the fluorimeter and your phone is larger than 4cm in order to get a clear picture. 5. Cover the fluorimeter and the cradle with the light box keeping one flap up. Distance between the smart phone cradle and drop = 5 cm Solutions Used for Calibration Initial Concentration of 2X Calf Thymus DNA solution (micrograms/mL) Volume of the 2X DNA solution (μL) Volume of the SYBR Green 1 Dye solution (μL) Final DNA concentration in SYBR Green 1 Solution (μg/ml) 5 80 80 2.5 2 80 80 1 1 80 80 0.5 0.5 80 80 0.25 0.25 80 80 0.125 0 80 80 0 Placing Samples onto the Fluorimeter 1.Place slide on Fluorimeter so that the blue light comes between the second and third hole 2. Apply tip to Micro-pipette 3. Insert tip of Micro-pipette into sample 4. Press button to absorb sample 5. Remove tip from sample 6. Press button while over second and third holes of slide to eject sample 7. Eject tip of Micro-pipette 8. Apply tip to Micro-pipette 9. Insert tip into SYBR 1 Green 10. Press button to absorb SYBR 1 Green 11. Remove tip from SYBR 1 Green 12. Press Button while over sample droplet to eject SYBR 1 Green to eject into sample 13. Eject tip 14. Repeat this process for all following samples Data Analysis Representative Images of Samples Image J analysis of sample without DNA Image J analysis of sample with DNA Image J Values for All Samples [Instructions: See worksheet page 8.

This, along with PCR concentrations similar to the positive control, indicate that this patient had the screened-for DNA. Patient 57695 : Patient 57695 exhibited no fluorescence. This, along with PCR concentrations similar to the negative control, indicate that this patient did not have to screened-for DNA. Final Concentration Results
