Detecting DNA Contamination in RT-PCR
Avoiding DNA Contamination in RT-PCR A frequent cause of concern among investigators performing quantitative RT-PCR is inaccurate data due to DNA contamination in RNA preparations. Although DNA contam ...
Designing PCR programsBasic Principles (see also Page 01) The requirement of an optimal PCR reaction is to amplify a specific locus without any unspecific by-products. Therefore annealing needs to tak ...

This procedure was first described by Bertrand et al (Proceedings of the National Academy of Science USA (1993) Vol. 90 pp. 3496-3500 and Nucleic Acids Research (1994) Vol. 22 pp. 293-300) to demonstr ...
Protocol for competitive RT-PCR For quantifying mRNA we use a competitive RT-PCR protocol with internal standard RNAs. These are added in a defined quantity to the RNA sample prior to the RT reaction. ...
Successful RT-PCR requires a high quality intact RNA template. Use the following guidelines to help prepare this template: To minimize the activity of RNases that are released during cell lysis inclu ...

Question What is the highest temperature that SUPERSCRIPT II MMLV or THERMOSCRIPT can be used? Answer For RT-PCR SUPERSCRIPT II RT can be used up to 50 C. MMLV can be used at temperatures up to ...
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) cont.Choice of Polymerases for PCROne of the important advances which allowed development of PCR was the availability of thermostable polymerases. This allowed initiall ...
The following colony PCR protocol has been designed to be performed in individual reaction tubes. We usually test three colonies from each transformation along with a wild-type control. A series of f ...

PCR技术简介 前言 一滴残留在裙子上的精液使得美国总统Bill Clinton不得不坦承他与白宫实习生有不正当的关系。因为他知道现在的生物科技就连一个精子也能被用来做为证据。这种将极微量的生物标本化为可供鉴定的现代技术正是PCR(Polymerase chain reaction)--聚合酶链式反应具有的特色之一。这也是分子生物医学令人震撼的一例。 何谓PCR 简单的说,PCR就是利用DNA聚 ...
关键词:寡核苷酸;优化设计中图分类号:Q524 在核酸分子杂交、DNA序列测定和通过PCR放大DNA片段等实验中,都需要使用寡核苷酸作为探针或引物,而对这些反应的质量起最重要影响作用的,就是这些寡核苷酸探针或引物。用优化的寡核苷酸进行实验能够很快得到好的结果,而用不够合适的寡核苷酸时,常常得出似是而非的结果,不仅大大增加了后续实验的工作量,还可能一无所获。 怎样优化设计寡核苷酸呢?至 ...
