Quantitative PCR uses fluorescent dye to quantify the relative difference in sequence copy number between two samples. The dye used is SYBR Green which binds to dsDNA but not to ssDNA, when comparing two qPCR reactions of a given sequence SYBR Green's signal is proportional to sequence copy number.
The Bitan lab does not have a qPCR machine. There is one in the de Vellis lab on the third floor that you can use if you get permission from Cristina Ghiani (cghiani at mednet stop ucla stop edu). You must also sign up to use the machine at least a day in advance of your experiment using the calendar that hangs over the machine.
Bio-Rad iQ SYBR Green Supermix Manual
The manual for this kit is here.
qPCR recipe
Total volume per well is 25 μL.
12.5 μL iQ SYBR Green Supermix
100-500 nM each primer
1 μL sample
ddH2O to 25 μL
You need a qPCR plate for this, it should have conical wells and it should be specially coated so it doesn't interact with protein.
Protocol
Run the MyiQ program from the Desktop.
From the "View Protocol" tab choose "Create a New Protocol."
In the "Show Options" box check the box for "Melt Curve."
In addition to editing incubation times and temperatures you can also insert and delete cycles or steps with the green buttons at the bottom of the screen.
Sample Protocol
This is a sample protocol for an ALISA experiment, it's saved as C:\Program Files\Bio-Rad\MyiQ\User1\Andrew\Andrew.tmo.
