OUR TEAM Name: student Role(s) Name: student Role(s) Name: Kenze Caulfield Lvl 13 Wizard Name: student Role(s) Name: student Role(s) Name: student Role(s) LAB 1 WRITE-UP (Please finish by 11/7/2012) Initial Machine Testing The Original Design (Add image of the full OpenPCR machine here, from the Week 3 exercise. Write a paragraph description for visitors who have no idea what this is) Experimenting With the Connections When we unplugged (part 3) from (part 6), the machine's display screen didn't turn on or show up. When we unplugged the white wire that connects (part 6) to (part 2), the machine's temperature reading was altered compared to the accurate values from the computer. Test Run (Write the date you first tested Open PCR and your experience(s) with the machine) October 25, 2012. The machine was accurate and precise but the cycling was slow. Protocols Polymerase Chain Reaction The Polymerase Chain Reaction works by attaching MgCl to taq enzyme in the solution and then pulling deoxy nucleotide diphosphates, binding them to the strand that is already present. This gives a base to the DNA that is already there. Reagent volume Template DNA(20 ng) .2ul 10 uM Patient one's ID number is 12123, male, and 61 years old. Patient two's ID is 21312, female, and 56 years old. Flourimeter Measurements (Add your work from Week 3, Part 2 here) Research and Development Specific Cancer Marker Detection - The Underlying Technology (Add a write-up of the information discussed in Week 3's class) (BONUS points: Use a program like Powerpoint, Word, Illustrator, Microsoft Paint, etc. to illustrate how primers bind to the cancer DNA template, and how Taq polymerases amplify the DNA. Screen-captures from the OpenPCR tutorial might be useful. Be sure to credit the source if you borrow images.) Results (Your group will add the results of your Fluorimeter measurements from Week 4 here)
