Basic QuikChange protocol

Tube	sterile H2O	Pfu Buffer	Template	For primer	Rev primer	dNTPs	Pfu Turbo	wax
		(10X)	(10 μg/mL)	(12.5 ng/μL)	(12.5 ng/μL)	(10 mM ea)	(2.5 U/μL)
Experimental	12 μL	5 μL	5 μL	10 μL	10 μL	2 μL	1 μL	50 μL
(-) Control	13 μL	5 μL	5 μL	10 μL	10 μL	2 μL	0 μL	50 μL

• Add each from left to right. Mix and spin before adding Pfu Turbo. Gentle mixing and spin after Pfu Turbo. Don't mix in wax.
• dNTPs should be aliquoted to minimize freeze-thaw cycles and ensure the integrity of the triphosphate.
