We did not have to change the labeling scheme of our test tubes. Fluorimeter Procedure Imaging set-up When setting up the fluorimeter and phone to get adequate photos, first the phone being used to take photos needed to be raised. We stacked 2 pipette tip containers and rested the phone on top. We then set up the fluorimeter about 4-6 centimeters from the point of focus. Next, we made sure the whole set up would fit underneath the black box and tested to make sure the flap would open and close effectively. After tweaking the design a few times to ensure good photos we conducted the trials. Placing Samples onto the Fluorimeter Step one: Using gloves, identify which side was smooth and which was rough Step two: Turn on the Fluorimeter and line up the first two divots with the light Step three: Using a micropipette transfer 160 microliters of water to the first two divots, this is to calibrate the Fluorimeter Step four: Put the iPhone camera on a timer, start it, and close the box and wait for phone to take a photo Step five: Using a new tip remove the 160 microliters of water from the first two divots Step six: Move the slide so the next two divots line up with the Fluorimeter and place 80 microliters of SYBR Green using a fresh micropipette tip to the slide. Step 7: Put the iPhone camera on a timer, start it, and close the box and wait for phone to take a photo (REPEAT 3 TIMES FOR 3 SEPARATE PHOTOS) Step 8: REPEAT STEPS 5-7 WITH ALL NECESSARY CONCENTRATIONS Data Collection and Analysis Images of High, Low, and Zero Calf Thymus DNA Error creating thumbnail: File missing 5 μg/mL DNA Sample Error creating thumbnail: File missing 0.5 μg/mL DNA Sample Error creating thumbnail: File missing 0 μg/mL DNA Sample Calibrator Mean Values Initial Concentration of 2X Calf Thymus DNA Solution (μg/mL) Final DNA Concentration in SYBR Green I Solution (μg/mL) Sample Number RAWINTENDEN DROP- BACKGROUND (IMAGE 1, IMAGE 2, IMAGE 3) Mean Standard Deviation 5 2.5 C-1 369322,369322,369322 369322 0 2 1 C-2 426308,426308,426308 426308 0 1 0.5 C-3 619208,619208,619208 619208 0 0.5 0.25 C-4 449938,449938,449938 449938 0 0.25 0.125 C-5 616112,616112,616112 616112 0 0 0 C-6 402036,402036,402036 402036 0 Calibration curves Error creating thumbnail: File missing Images of Our PCR Negative and Positive Controls Error creating thumbnail: File missing Error creating thumbnail: File missing PCR Results: PCR concentrations solved PCR Product Tube Label Mean (of RAWINTDEN Drop - Background) PCR Product Concentration (µg/mL) Total Dilution Initial PCR Product Concentration (µg /mL) G14 + 23589122.33 -798.813005 12 -9585.75606 G14 - 11858546.33 -392.5733597 12 -4710.880316 G14 1-1 9302393 -304.0516346 12 -3648.619615 G14 1-2 12414422.67 -411.8238214 12 -4941.885857 G14 1-3 8998444.667 -293.5256499 12 -3522.307799 G14 2-1 39829061.67 -1361.215669 12 -16334.58803 G14 2-2 20563469 -694.0321028 12 -8328.385233 G14 2-3 29014846.33 -986.7103592 12 -11840.52431 PCR Results: Summary Our positive control PCR result was -9585.75606 μg/mL Our negative control PCR result was -4710.880316 μg/mL Observed results Patient 15727 : The images of this patient had a colorless look and an average initial PCR product concentration of -4037.60 μg/mL. Patient 52298 : The images of this patient had a bright green neon glow and an average initial PCR product concentration of -12167.83 μg/mL. Conclusions Patient 15727 : This patient was concluded to be negative due to resembling the negative control value. The negative control value had a value of -4710.88 μg/mL, and the three tests that were administered had an average of -4037.60. This value is much closer to the negative control value than the positive control value (-9585.76 μg/mL). Due to these results, the patient was determined to be negative for the presence of the DNA. Patient 52298 : This patient was concluded to be positive due to resembling the positive control value. The positive control value had a value of -9585.76 μg/mL, and the three tests that were taken had an average of -12167.83 μg/mL. This value is closer to the positive control value than the negative control value (-4710.88 μg/mL). Due to these results, the patient was determined to be positive for the presence of the DNA.
