Corum:Whole Plasmid PCR
From OpenWetWare
Overview
Whole plasmid PCR protocol using PFU Ultra DNA polymerase.
Materials
For a 50 μL whole plasmid PCR PCR reaction:
- 36 μL H2O
- 5 μL 10X PFU Ultra PCR buffer
- 5 μL 2mM (each) dNTP mix
- 1 μL 5nM plasmid template (0.1 nM final)
- 1 μL 10μM sense primer (200nM final)
- 1 μL 10μM antisense primer (200nM final)
- 1 μL PFU Ultra DNA polyermerase
Procedure
- In a PCR tube, mix the components on ice in the order they are listed above.
- Perform the following thermocycling program:
- 95 °C 1 min
- 95 °C 30 s
- TH = 55 °C 30 s
- 72 °C 2 min for each 1 kb PCR product
- Repeat steps 2-4 a total of 12-36 times (24 is standard).
- 72 °C 20 min
- 12 °C hold
