Protocol: PCR


  • Get the following excel: File:Team-EPF-Lausanne Protocol PCR.xls
  • Fill in the pink fields with the appropriate values.
    • The annealing temperature is generally the lowest Tm. For long primers, use lowest Tm-5
    • The extension time is 15-30s per 1kb
  • Prepare the master mix by adding the elements in the following order:
    • H20
    • 5x HF Buffer
    • dNTP
    • Polymerase (keep it cold!)
  • Put 50ul of the master mix in a PCR tube for each different PCR
  • Add the primers and the DNA
  • Start the PCR!
