OUR TEAM Name: student Name: student Name: student Name: student Name: student Name: student LAB 5 WRITE-UP Background Information SYBR Green Dye SYBR green dye is used as a nucleic acid stain and binds to DNA. The result is a DNA-dye-complex that absorbs blue light and emits green light. This dye can also bind to single-stranded DNA and RNA with a lower performance. Single-Drop Fluorimeter Add a PHOTO for bonus points] A single-drop fluorimeter is made up of a sturdy black cover used to block out the light. There is a phone cradle used o hold the camera while taking pictures. Inside the black cover there is a platform to hold the slides. There is also an LED light placed around the slides. This light emits a blue light used to see the SYBR green dye. How the Fluorescence Technique Works The blue LED light shines on the DNA-dye samples. The amount of DNA in each sample is measured based on the concentration of the green light being emitted from the sample.
