After using the Open PCR machine, we noticed a few components of the machine that could be improved. The biggest issue we encountered was that of the lid. When placing the tubes into the machine, it was very difficult to unlatch the lid from the base. Additionally, when screwing the heating plate down onto the tubes, it was difficult to tell how much the plate needed to be screwed down. With these problems in mind, we decided to redesign the lid by replacing two of the panels of the lid with plexi-glass and replace the hinge with magnets. By replacing two of the panels with plexi-glass, the user is able to see the heating plate being screwed down onto the tubes. This ensures that proper placement and rids of possible experimental errors. By replacing the hinge with magnets, we eliminate the difficulty experienced with the hinge. Also, placing magnets at the corners of the lid to hold the lid in place allows for greater visibility when adding the tubes to the tray. | |||

ProtocolsMaterials For PCR Protocol
1. Label Eppendorf Tubes with 1-17. Each tube should contain 50 microliters of one of the following substances:
2. Use properly labeled micropipette to place 17 samples into 17 properly labeled Eppendorf tubes already containing 50 microliters GoTaq mix. To see contents of GoTaq mix, see materials. DNA Measurement Protocol 1. With permanent marker, clearly number micropipettes. With permanent marker, number Eppendorf tubes at the top. There should be 17 labeled micropipettes and 17 Eppendorf tubes. Research and DevelopmentBackground on Disease Markers
