LAB 5 WRITE-UPPCR Reaction ReportOur pipetting of the samples was successful for the setup of this laboratory procedure. The appropriate amounts of DNA sample liquids and PCR reaction mix were added to the tubes with no observable error. The tubes were labeled as we planned and we successfully transferred the liquids between the tubes without contamination.The pre-lab provided appropriate information over how to complete a PCR lab. Through the interactive activities, we were able to familiarize ourselves with the important and significant procedure. In addition, the reading provided informative background descriptions and definitions that helped in the progression and completion of the laboratory procedure. The first and second stops on the pipettor were easy to distinguish after the first few pipetting steps. When you hit the first stop, it is quite hard to go past it accidentally. Therefore, when you purposefully expel the sample into the PCR tube, you can perceive when it is fully expelled at the second stop.The final reactions had the same amount of liquid as the original components combined. Precision was used in transferring the components into the reaction, and therefore, there was the exact same amount of liquid.There was no component liquids left in the tubes of DNA and the PCR reaction mix. Since precision was used in removing these liquids, there was no liquid left in these tubes and all was added into the PCR tubes.We used our original labeling scheme from Part A for the procedure in Part C. We saw no need to change it, given that it was unique to our group seeing as we labeled our PCR tubes with “G4.” Fluorimeter ProcedureSmart Phone Camera Settings
