Summary Results and Discussion[edit]
- 20170327-RCATest-CPLP-CT-EnzymeComparison.png
Comparing the three enzymes (3 hrs RCA)
- 20170327-RCATest-CPLP-CT-TimeComparison.png
Comparing CT values between RCA times (NEB)
Based on the results here, I would say that the Thermo enzyme seemed to be the best (keep in mind Epicentre was mixed 1:10 before adding it to the thermocycler and is therefore not necessarily the best true comparison for Epi). Also, the amount of product does in fact amplify by time accordingly, that is for each different RCA primer (LLRC, LLRC*, and LLRC***) the amount of product present at 6 hours is approximately double the amount at 3 hours, and 12 hours is approximately double 6 hours. However, the baseline still appears to be off. That is, the total amount present should be much higher than is being elucidated in the qPCR at the moment.
