Placing Samples onto the Fluorimeter

  • Step 1.) With the Camera set in place we prepared the slide with SYBR Green I, a constant throughout the experiment
  • Step 2.) 80 μL of 5μg/mL of calf thymus concentration DNA samples were then added to the slide
  • Step 3.) To take 3 pictures in the the dark with as much of the blue LED light as possible, we used a timer on the camera, set to 3 seconds.
  • Step 4.) The slide, now containing SYBER Green I and Calf Thymus DNA was then aligned in the cradle such that the light was shining into the DNA.
  • Step 5.) With the Camera phone, we captured 3 images of the DNA and removed the light box.
  • Step 6.) That sample was then disposed of with a micropipette
  • Step 7.) Repeat with 80μL Green SABR I and 80μL of each Calf Thymus Concentration given by the first column in the table above
