  1. What is the final volume of the individual PCR reactions we are making?       
D. PCR of lacz GENE
1. You will be preparing a PCR reaction for your "G" and "L" tubes. When performing a
PCR it is important to make sure the reaction has worked correctly, therefore we
will also be preparing a "positive control". In addition, we want to make sure that
there has not been any contamination so we will prepare a "negative control". We
will first prepare a "MASTER-MASTER MIX" for all the reactions.
2. Obtain a sterile 1.5-ml tube.
3. Add the following reagents to the tube to make the "MASTER-MASTER MIX":
Reagent
GoTag® Green Master Mix
lacZ forward primer (10 µM)
lacZ reverse primer (10 µM)
Nuclease free water
Volume
125 ul
12.5 ul
12.5 µl
90 ul
4. Obtain 4 PCR tubes and a PCR tube rack. Label the tubes: G, L, + and -.
5. Obtain your "G" and "L" CDNA samples from last week and a + PCR control. Place on
ice.
6. Add 48 ylof the mix to each PCR tube. (NOTE: You will have left over mix because
we prepared enough mix for 5 reactions.)
7. Add 2 µl of nuclease free water to the tube labeled -.
8. Add 2 µl of "G" CDNA to the PCR tube labeled "G".
9. Add 2 ul of “L" CDNA to the PCR tube labeled "L".
10. Add 2 µl of positive control to the tube labeled +.
11. Place tubes in the thermocycler.
12. The thermocycler profile is as follows:
o 94°C for 10 min
o 35 cycles of:
94°C for 30 sec
• 60°C for 60 sec
72°C for 60 sec
o 72°C for 10 min
