OUR TEAMLAB 2 WRITE-UPThermal Cycler EngineeringOur re-design is based upon the Open PCR system originally designed by Josh Perfetto and Tito Jankowski.< The picture above is of the original 4x4 PCR Tube Block which we are redesigning. The purpose of the PCR Tube Block is to hold the samples of DNA. In our redesign of the PCR Block, we are manipulating the sample size to a 3x7 block, making it capable of holding 21 DNA sample spaces instead of the generic 16. One of the 21 sample spaces will contain a platinum temperature sensor.
ProtocolsMaterials
1. Using the micro-pipetter, transfer primer mix into 8 labeled sample tubes 2. Transfer samples to assign tubes, ensure tips are replaced for each sample 3. Place samples in PCR Machine 4. Run machine to the following setting:
DNA Measurement Protocol The steps for setting up the samples: 2. With the fine point Sharpie, label the transfer pipettes and Eppendorf tubes accordingly to prevent contamination. 3. Measure 400mL of Tris buffer into a 500mL graduated cylinder and pour into each of the Eppendorf tubes. 4. Extract each sample with one pipette (use a new one for each sample to prevent contamination) into an Eppendorf tube that contains 400mL of Tris buffer. Be sure to transfer all of the samples into the tubes. 5. Label the Eppendorf tube with the sample number. 6. Set up the sample DNA calf thymus by pipetting 100μL into an Eppendorf tube containing 400mL of Tris buffer. 7. Pipette 100μL of distilled water into the corresponding Eppendorf tube containing 400mL of Tris buffer. 8. Add the SYBR Green to the Eppendorf tubes with separate pipettes. 9. Open up the fluorimeter box and remove the contents. 10. Disassemble the box by unsnapping it. 11. Put the cover of the box on the bottom facing upside down. 12. Next, place the fluorimeter on top of the box cover. 13. Then, carefully add the glass slide in between the fluorimeter. 14. Use the pipet and remove about .25ml of the sample or water. 15. Place a few drops from the samples prepared in steps 1-8 in the middle of the slots until they conjoin. 16. Turn on the LED light. 17. Make sure the LED is going through the center of the drops, a cone of light should go around it, however, not at an angle. Steps to setting up camera phone: 19. Configure the cell phone by going to the camera menu and doing the following:
20. Place the cell phone on the stand and take the picture while placing the cover over the fluorimeter. 21. Repeat steps 5-12 as necessary. The Steps for Image J: 23. Save the pictures to smart phone. 24. Be sure to name the pictures in the correct order taken in order to separate the images. 25. Download the pictures onto a computer that has Image J through a USB device or uploading them. 26. Open them with Image J by going to add image. Find image on the files. Edit the picture: 28. Use the green image. 29. Click on the menu bar to activate the oval selection. 30. Draw the best oval around your green drop image and then select 'analyze>measure'. 31. Write down the sample number and numbers measured. 32. Draw another oval for the of the same size in the green file for the background about the drop to get the "noise". Select 'analyze>measure'. Write drown the sample number and the numbers measure and label this as background. Save your measurements. Research and DevelopmentBackground on Disease Markers
