Protocols

[1A] Polymerase Chain Reaction

PCR is used to rapidly amplify certain segments of DNA that are selected via designed primers. This protocol was used to accomplish a variety of goals, from extraction of parts from a cloning vector to the addition of restriction cut sites at the ends of parts.

  1. Defrost template, 2x Master Mix and primers
  2. Determine desired total working volume (~25uL)
  3. Label reaction tubes
Part Concentration Volume for 25uL reaction
2x Master Mix 2x 12.5uL
dsDNA Template - 1uL
Forward primer - 1uL
Reverse primer - 1uL
DI H2O - 9.5uL

Sample Reaction

This is an example protocol used in the thermal cycler, durations and temperatures subject to change


Step Name # of Cycles Temperature(℃) Duration(min)
Initial 1 98 3
Denaturation 30 98 0.5
Annealing 30 56 0.5
Elongation 30 72 0.5
Final Elongation 1 72 10
Storage 1 4
