- 3 min @95C, (5s 95C, 1 min 60C)x35 on Takara machine
- using MIDs 1 through 12
- rotifers from Gushikawa 01
- each placed with 5-10 ul water into a PCR tube. Then 30ul instagene were added and incubated 30min at 56, 30min at 95C, vortexing occasionally
Results
- Pretty much blank gel. There was some weak amplification in the last sample, but it looks like the extractions have failed.
- Need to optimize single-rotifer extraction
