3 Methods


Refer to Chapter 18 , Subheading 3.1.


  1. All samples are diluted with DNase-free water only.

  2. Prepare all PCR materials within the PCR hood to reduce
    chances of contamination (see Note 1).

  3. Thaw all PCR required ingredients on ice.

  4. Briefly tap and spin down each reagent to ensure homogeneity.

  5. Prepare a master reaction mixture (see Note 2) according to
    the manufacturer’s protocol with consideration of pipetting
    error (see Note 3).

  6. A minimal of two technical replicates per sample (see Note 4)
    is required.

  7. For example, for three biological samples, eight master reac-
    tion mixtures will be prepared (see Note 5).

  8. Then for each individual reaction, aliquot a single reaction of
    master reaction mixture into a PCR tube, and add the tem-
    plate (see Note 6) to it.
