Procedure

• Primer info

Samples (E1 E2 E3 E4 E5 E6 E7) (E1 E2 E3 E4 E5 E6 E7) were used in this PCR (polimerase chain reaction) reaction

First A Master Mix of water, 2x mytaq mix, 23S1M13 Primer (concentration: 10 micromolar), 23S2M13 Primer (concentration: 10 micromolar)

Component	Volume for 14 reactions(+5% error)
Water	132.3 micoleters
2x mytaq mix	183.75 micoleters
23S1M13 Primer (concentration: 10 micromolar)	14.7 micoleters
23S2M13 Primer (concentration: 10 micromolar)	14.7 micoleters

24 micoleters of this master mix was added to 14 tubes For the 2 negative controls 12.5 micoleters water and 12.5 micoleters mytaq mix were added no positive control was available for this 23S1M13 PCR due to no succsessful PCRs being done

1 microleter of the DNA samples was added to the coresponding tube

The samples were then placed in two seperate thermocyclers set to the same times but different numbers of cycles

tube 1 was set to 35 cycles. Tube 2 was set to 40 cycles.

Step	Temperature	Duration	cycles
1	92°C	3:00	1
2	92°C	0:30	35/40
3	55°C	1:00	35/40
4	72°C	0:15	35/40
5	72°C	5:00	1
6	4°C	hold	-

these amplified DNA samples were then tested by making a gel

to create the Gel the following steps were taken

1.5g agarose and 75ml 1X TAE buffer were mixed to make a 2% agarose 75ml gel mix the mix was microwaved and swirled until there were no flakes then 1 microliters Gelgreen was added

the mix was left to cool for 5 minutes then poured into the gel mold the gel was left to harden for 30 minutes

once hardened enough Used TAE buffer was poured into the gel box to cover the mold

5 microliter aliquots of DNA samples E1 E2 E3 E4 E5 E6 E7 E1 E2 E3 E4 E5 E6 E7 and the two controls were made 1 microliter of 5x loading dye was added to each

First 3 microliters of the HyperLadder 100bp was added to the first well of the mold then the DNA samples were each added to the wells in the following order

Ladder	E1	E2	E3	Negative Control	E4	E5	E6	E7	(35 cycles)
Ladder	E1	E2	E3	Negative Control	E4	E5	E6	E7	(40 cycles)

The voltage was set to 125V and run for 45 minutes

This is the resulting Gel

Notes

these were tests to find the right settings to get a succsessful PCR for 23S1M13
