The primary modification from the first OpenPCR machine will be the USB connection. In order to ensure a better connection, a more durable cable with rubber around the leads, similar to the one pictured below will be implemented. This includes adjusting the port on the PCR machine itself in order to make the new cable fit. | |||

* Ave. INTDEN = Average of ImageJ integrated density values from three Fluorimeter images
Bayes Theorem equation: P(A|B) = P(B|A) * P(A) / P(B)
This means that if there is one positive diagnostic signal, there is a probability of .92 that the test conclusion will be positive
Calculation 2: The probability that the sample has a non-cancer DNA sequence, given a negative diagnostic signal.
This means that if there is one negative diagnostic signal, there is a probability of .91 that the test conclusion will be negative
This means that if a test concludes in a positive signal, the probability of the patient developing cancer is .67
This means that if a test concludes in a negative signal, the probability of the patient not developing cancer is .91.

New System: ProtocolsDESIGN We chose to include these new approaches/ features
Part of our problems were that on the very end when all the results were collected from all the groups that were involved in this BME is that we were not 100% on the results on each patient. Also we had trouble matching numbers with positive and negative results. to increase the accuracy of our results it would be good to place tow more tubes into the PCR machine that can serve as extra controls.
each group in the BME lab have used different smart phone, which means different types of cameras were used. each of those cameras have setting on that can not be changed. i think standarizing and raising the the cameras in the class would greatly improve the confidence that our results are correct.
Reagents supplied by the user :
3.Sample mixed should contain sample of two patient each containg 3 replicates. As well as
3.place two rows of four tubes into PCR that were prepared before, using PC click start and
3.take each sample and place one drop on perforated and hydro-phobic glass. calibrate the camera and then
New System: Research and DevelopmentBACKGROUND
To amplify the cancer associated sequence a primer pair that has a change in the normal allele forward primer needs to be designed; the "cancer allele forward primer". Vice versa, thr "cancer allele reverse primer" will stay the same. Normal allele forward primer:CCCAGGATTTTTGAGAATGTA
Cancer allele forward primer:CCCAGGATTTTGAGACTGTA The cancerous gene will produce a positive result, while the non-cancer gene will give a negative result, because the primers are designed to amplify cancerous DNA. Therefore, the cancerous mutation cannot bind to normal DNA, ultimately meaning that amplification cannot occur.(http://openwetware.org/wiki/BME103_s2013:T900_Group8)
Design cancer positive primers with more than one mutation. Rather than just switching the "ATT" to "ACT", the primer can also switch out a larger stran like "TTTTTT" to "TATAT"
With a primer that has more mutations,the positive results will amplify more, makes it easier to identify the green in the fluorimeter.
