Lab A

Section 1: Protocol
Materials

• Lab coat and disposable gloves
• PCR reaction mix, 8 tubes, 50 μL containing Taq DNA polymerase, MgCl2, and dNTP's
• DNA/primer mix, 50 μl each: all have the same forward and reverse primer but different templates of DNA
• A strip of empty PCR tubes
• Disposable pipette tips: only use each only once. Never re-­‐use disposable pipette tips or samples will be cross-­‐contaminated
• Cup for discarded tips
• Micropipettor
• OpenPCR machine

DNA Sample Set-up Procedure

1. Obtain patient samples, including a positive and negative control, from the TA as well as the patient ID's for group
2. Record which ID's went with each patient and label each sample with the ID consistent with the patient
3. Do not write the ID's on the tubes, only record on the table
4. Add the polymerase, nDTP, and primers to each of the 8 samples
5. The samples are prepared for PCR
