LAB 1 WRITE-UP

Initial Machine Testing

The Original Design




Description of Open PCR Device


Experimenting With the Connections

When we unplugged the LED from the Open PCR circuit board, the machine stop displaying information on the LED screen.

When we unplugged the white wire that connects the Open PCR circuit board to main heat sink, the machine incorrectly displays the temperature as negative 40 degrees Celsius.

Test Run

(Write the date you first tested Open PCR and your experience(s) with the machine)




Protocols

Polymerase Chain Reaction

Reagent Volume
Template DNA (20 ng) .2 μL
10 μM forward primer 1.0 μL
10 μM reverse primer 1.0 μL
GoTaq master mix 50.0 μL
dH2O 47.8 μL
Total Volume 100.0 μL


Fluorimeter Measurements

(Add your work from Week 3, Part 2 here)
