Gate Anneals
Room Temperature Annealing
- Mix gate and output in a 1.2:1 ratio in a tube.
- Cover the tube in foil, if you didn't use an opaque/black tube.
- Leave the tube on a bench top overnight.
Room Temperature Annealing
- Preheat the heat block to 95°C, add water to the well you will be using.
- Put a piece of styrofoam (covered with foil) on the heat block. Make sure the temperature is still at 95°C, and doesn't jump
- Mix gate and output in a 1.2:1 ratio in a tube, put it in the heat block.
- Cover again with the styrofoam, set the heat block to RT.
- 5. Wait until the block cools. It will probably not reach RT, but will be at around 30°C after a few hours. Turn the block off completely and wait for a bit (1h).
N.B. It may be possible to anneal using a lower maximum temperature (say, 80°C), as long as it is higher than the melting temperature of the oligos.
