LAB 4 WRITE-UP

Protocol

Materials

  • Lab coat and disposable gloves
  • PCR reaction mix, 8 tubes, 50 μL eachh: Mix contains Taq DNA polymerase, MgCl2, and dNTP’s

(http://www.promega.com/resources/protocols/product-information-sheets/g/gotaqcolorless-master-mix-m714-protocol/)

  • DNA/primer mix, 8 tubes, 50 μL each: Each mix contains a different template DNA. All tubes have the same forward primer and reverse primer
  • A strip of empty PCR tubes
  • Disposable pipette tips: only use each only once. Disposable pipette tips should never be reused or samples will be cross-contaminated
  • Cup for discarded tips
  • Micropipettor
  • OpenPCR machine: shared by two groups

PCR Reaction Sample List

Tube Label PCR Reaction Sample Patient ID
G15 + Positive control none
G15 - Negative control none
G15 1-1 Patient 1, replicate 1 50018
G15 1-2 Patient 1, replicate 2 50018
G15 1-3 Patient 1, replicate 3 50018
G15 2-1 Patient 2, replicate 1 69797
G15 2-2 Patient 2, replicate 2 69797
G15 2-3 Patient 2, replicate 3 69797


DNA Sample Set-up Procedure

  1. Materials mentioned above are obtained from the professors
  2. Two lengths of four tubes should be created by cutting the provided linked tubes in half. Tubes should be empty and will be used for the PCR reaction.
  3. The sides of the tubes should be labeled with a permanent marker then placed in a rack: G15 P (positive control), G15 N (negative control), G15 1-1, G15 1-2, G15 1-3, G15 2-1, G15 2-2, G15 2-3
  4. For the positive control, 50 μL of PCR should be pipetted into the empty tube, along with the positive control DNA and DNA primers (50 μL). The total volume within the tube is now at 100 μL. New pipette tips should be utilized after every single transfer of liquids to avoid cross-contamination.
