PCR Results Summary | |||
Instructor's summary: You completed 8 PCR reactions in a previous lab. You 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. Your positive control and negative control samples should be used as threshold values for determining whether an unknown (patient) sample is truly positive or negative. | |||
Your positive control PCR result was ____ μg/mL | |||
Your negative control PCR result was ____ μg/mL | |||
Write-in each patient ID and give both a qualitative (what the images looked like) and a quantitative description (μg/mL) of what you observed | |||
Patient _____ : | |||
Patient _____ : | |||
Compare each patient's results to the positive control value and the negative control value. Draw a final conclusion for each patient (positive or negative) and explain why you made that conclusion. | |||
Patient _____ : | |||
Patient _____ : | |||

LAB 5 WRITE-UPBackground InformationSYBR 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.
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.
