        Prepare injection pads

        • line up three 22x50 mm coverslips
        • place drop of molten 2% agarose on each
        • quickly place slide on top of the agarose and wait 20 seconds (see figure)

         

        <center> </center>

         

        • carefully separate coverslips from slide so that the agarose pad remains on the coverslip and dry (overnight at room temp or 15 minutes on 65 degree heat block)

            • depress peddle to begin filling gonad with solution
            • stop filling when gonad expands along entire length but before it "pops" by depressing peddle second time
            • pull needle out of gonad
              • clear sticky debri from needle by applying line-pressure to cause solution to flow from tip
            • inject other gonad in similar manner

            Recover worms

            • place drop of egg-salts on worm to "rehydrate" (worm should begin swimming) and allow about five minutes recovery at room temp
            • once the worm is swimming well, transfer to OP50-seeded plate with mouth-pipette
            • passage worm at regular time intervals to determine timing of onset of RNA-interference effects

            Hints

            • good needles are the key ...... and largely dependent on your luck when breaking the tip
            • break needle by gently pressing tip against 18x18 mm coverslip mounted on drop of oil on 22x50 mm coverslip
            • if the worms move too much on the pad try drying the pads on heat block immediately before using
            • can do multiple injections on single pad by using small drops of oil at multiple spots: inject worm and recover it in egg salts while mounting and injecting a second worm in neighboring drop, when second is complete, transfer the recovered first to plate, etc ....
            • can inject multiple worms within the same drop of oil - just don't do too many that it takes too long and the worms dessicate before you can recover them
            • recovery time longer that 5-10 minutes usually not necessary - even non-swimming worms will recover after transfered to seeded plate
