MDA in an Agarose base

See what the optimum volume of beads is for MDA.


Procedure

  • Filter LMT agarose using 5 um pores
  • Perform a serial dilution of bacteria in .75% LMT agarose to 1250 cell/uL. Also dilute in water for + control.
  • Scale up the volume for MDA so that it 3x a normal reaction so the agarose is easier to work with
  • Since 10 uL of template will be used, no water will be used in the master mix to keep the concentrations constant
  • Want to vary the volumes of beads to see which works best
  • The following volumes were used
