<!-- INSTRUCTIONS: You completed 8 PCR reactions and used the SYBR Green I staining and imaging technique to measure the amount of amplified DNA in each PCR reaction. You used a standard curve (based on known concentrations of calf thymus DNA) to convert INTDEN values into DNA concentration.

Replace the underscore with your claculated initial concentration values.-->

LAB 5 WRITE-UP

PCR Reaction Report

The PCR reaction went as according to plan outlined in the previous lab. The pipetting technique was performed correctly. All of the tubes were labeled as specified and the pipet tips were disposed after every use. The pre-lab reading helped us because it was the only reference we had as a team. The difference between the first and second step of the micropipettor was fully understood after actual use of the pipettor. No noticeable errors were made.
