These results were completely loopy. The positive controls in A4 had a very low intensity; the negative control in D10 had a very high intensity. It is possible that samples were mixed up. Addition of displacement strands resulted in relatively low fluorescence; however addition of more displacement strand tended to increase intensity (A8-A12, C2-C6). All in all puzzling data; the experiment must be run again.

Strand Displacement

We'll test if strand displacement can quench the adaptamers.
