<b>1.</b> The Polymerase Chain Reaction or PCR works by singling out a single piece of DNA and then multiplying it so there's millions of copies of one strand of DNA. It's a step by step process that first occurs by heating up the DNA to 100°C in order to denature the hydrogen bonds between the two strands of DNA so that both sides of the DNA can be accesible to copy. After the strands are separated, specific primers are added to locate the section of DNA to be amplified. Next, the Taq DNA polymerase is added which actually copies the section of DNA desired and synthesizes the second half of each strand. After this there are only a few copies of the DNA which is why the machine then replicates more strands by repeating the process multiple times until there are millions of copies. <br> | <b>1.</b> The Polymerase Chain Reaction or PCR works by singling out a single piece of DNA and then multiplying it so there's millions of copies of one strand of DNA.

<b>SET UP:</b><br> | |||
1. Take the file box and place it upside down (after it's been emptied) so that there is now an area that will restrict as much light as possible from coming through in the pictures.<br> | |||
2. Place the hydrophobic slide in the center of the fluorimeter and align it so that the row of dots is directly in the middle of the blue lazer.<br> | |||
3. Using a pipet, place two droplets of water gently on the middle hole of the slide.<br> | |||
4. Next use the pipet to add two droplets of the PCR solution for the first sample with the two water droplets. This must be done cautiously so that the droplets will stay in the center and adhere to each other properly.<br> | |||
5. Turn on the light source on and place the fluorimeter as far back as possible inside the upside down box.<br> | |||
6. Turn the camera on a smart phone and adjust the settings accordingly. Inactivate the flash, set iso to 800 (or higher if possible), set white balance to auto, exposure to the highest setting, saturation to highest setting and contrast to the lowest setting.<br> | |||
7. Place a smartphone camera into the cradle and then move the cradle in front of the fluorimeter at the perfect distance for good resolution (may take some adjusting).<br> | |||
8. Take a picture of the mixture on the fluorimeter (best done if camera is on a timer so that you can fully close the box and avoid excess light exposure. <br> | |||
9. Repeat steps 2-8 for each sample. <br> | |||

OUR TEAMLAB 1 WRITE-UP
Initial Machine TestingThe images above depict our OpenPCR machine. It performs polymerase chain reactions (PCR), a process in which a particular DNA sequence is amplified. The DNA sequence can then be easily analyzed. The OpenPCR machine accomplishes the amplification of a DNA sequence through a series of heating and cooling sequences.
When we unplugged the LCD screen from the circuit board, the machine stopped displaying information on the LCD screen. When we unplugged the white wire that connects the circuit board to the heating block, the heating block would not heat up.
We first tested our OpenPCR machine (machine #6) on October 25, 2012. We ran the machine through a preprogrammed sample test run. At first we were not getting consistent temperature readings outputting to the LCD screen; however, after we rebooted the OpenPCR machine and ran the test again the machine worked perfectly.
