INTRODUCTION




MATERIALS AND SOLUTIONS

10 mM dNTPs Mix


Taq DNA Polymerase


10 X PCR Buffer


2 uM PCR Primers


0.2-ml Sterile PCR Tubes




PROCEDURES

1. In a pre-PCR area, assemble and label the PCR (0.5 ml) reactions as follow:
  • Include the assay blank (H2O) and negative and positive controls.
  • Make a master mix and distribute to each PCR tubes.
