Procedure[edit]
Step 1: PCR reaction system setup[edit]
- Thaw Econo Taq on ice
- Prepare strips and tubes on cooling rack
- Add in Content in table to tubes accordinly
Content | Volume | X24 | Tube A | Tube B |
Jan_09_CPG_D40809 (10uM) | 0.2uL | 4.8uL | 2.4uL | 2.4uL |
Econo Taq | 50uL | 1250uL | 625uL | 625uL |
AP1V6 AP2V6 Mix (50uM) | 0.4uL | 9.6uL | 4.8uL | 4.8uL |
RNAse free H2O | 50uL | 1200uL | 600uL | 600uL |
50X SYBG I | 0.4uL | 9.6uL | 4.8uL | 4.8uL |
Total Volume | 101uL | 2424uL | 1212uL | 1212uL |
- Mix content in 2 x 1.5mL tube vortex and spin down
- Aliquot 100uL using Eppendorf repeat pipette to 24 wells (3 strips) on cooling rack
- Repeat pipette tip cannot fit into 1.5mL tube, change to P200 after 16 wells
- Seal strips with strip caps
- Place into Real Time PCR
- Perform
94C 2M > (94C 30S > 58C 30S > 72C 30S) X22 > 72C 3M > 15C Hold
- Stop reaction after 16 cycles (Reached plateau)
Step 2: Probe purification with ethanol precipitation[edit]
Content | Volume Needed | Volume |
100% Ethanol | 2.5X Sample Volume | 6000uL |
3M NaOAC | 0.1X Sample Volume | 240uL |
Glycoblue | 1/300X Sample Volume | 8uL |
Sample | Sample Volume | 2400uL |
Total Volume | 8648uL |
- Add in required volume of 100% ethanol, 3M NaOAC and Glycoblue into tray
- Pool all 24 wells PCR product into tray using multichannel pipette(P300)
- Mix all content by repeat pipetting using multichannel pipette
- Aliquot about 3750uL to 2 x 15mL tube
- Store in -80C
Results[edit]
Suggestion[edit]
- Mix PCR mix in a tube with bigger openings that will fit the repeater
- Meanwhile just stick with multichannel pipette or just aliquot using P200
- Vortex and spin down strip tubes with mini-centrifuge
- Mix content in tray with multichannel pipette before pooling samples into tray to ensure equal coprecipitation is performed by Glycoblue
- Repeat doing experiment with 24 wells
