BME103:T930 Group 16 l2: Difference between revisions

Before starting the experiment be sure that the solar panels on the PCR machine have been charged.

To prepare the DNA samples for the PCR, label the DNA test tubes with the patients name and replication number or label it in some way so that you will be able to distinguish between the patient sample and which replication it is (for example P1 R1 for patient one replication one). Put a corresponding label on the tubes containing the reaction mix that will be placed into the actual PCR. After you have labeled all of your patient samples,tubes containing the reaction mix and your positive and negative control, you are ready to add the samples to the PCR reaction mix. The reaction mix includes: Taq DNA polymerase, forward primer, reverse primer, MgCl2 and dNTP's. The DNA should be added to 100 μL of premixed reagent. Using a different transfer pipette each time, transfer your DNA samples, and positive and negative controls to separate tubes of the reaction mix.
