Mixes

PCR master mix for each gene target.

One gene target is in 3 reactions, and 3 replicates per reaction, +1 for pipetting error.

3 x 3 + 1 = 10

Reagent (Single well) Gene Target (x10) GAPD (x10)
2x LC480 Probes Master (7.5 μL) 75.0 75.0
20 μM Forward primer (0.3 μL) 3.0 3.0 GAPD primers*
20 μM Reverse primer (0.3 μL) 3.0 ---
10 μM UPL probe (0.3 μL) 3.0 3.0 GAPD UPL probe*
PCR H2O (0.1 μL) 1.0 4.0
Total vol. (8.5 μL) 85.0 85.0

Resulting 1.5 mL tubes:

  • HOXD11 (1) - 85.0 μL
  • HOXD11 (2) - 85.0 μL
  • HOXD11 (3) - 85.0 μL
  • HOXD12 (1) - 85.0 μL
  • HOXD12 (2) - 85.0 μL
  • GAPD - 85.0 μL

Master mix for each template

First, make a 1:10 dilution of the cDNA.

One cell type is in 6 reactions, 3 replicates + 1 pipetting error.

6 * 3 + 1 = 19

Reagent (Single well) cDNA Template (x19)
1:10 cDNA dilution (2.0 μL) 38.0*
PCR H2O (4.5 μL) 85.5
Total vol. (6.5 μL) 123.5

*For the no template control, use PCR H2O instead of cDNA.

Resulting 1.5 mL tubes:

  • U2OS - U2OS cells cDNA, 123.5 μL
  • iPS - iPS cells cDNA, 123.5 μL
  • Con - no template control, 123.5 μL
