General PCR Protocol
- Setup Amplification PCR Reaction
- 1uL Template
- 1uL 25mM dNTP's
- 10uL Phusion HF Buffer
- 0.5uL Forward Primer (Tm XX oC)*
- 0.5uL Reverse Primer (Tm YY oC)*
- 0.5uL Phusion polymerase
- 36.5uL diH2O
- Amplification PCR Reaction
- 98 oC - 30s
- 98 oC - 10s
- ZZ oC - 10s*
- 72 oC - 30s/kb target gene
- Repeat 2-4 29x
- 72 oC - 5min
- 10 oC - forever
- Tms of all primers must first be calculated after primer design. Annealing temperature (represented by ZZ above) should be 2 oC higher than XX or YY, whichever is lower.
