DNA Re-hydration
This protocol is used for re-hydration of DNA. We used this mainly for our newly arrived primers. (Link)
Materials required
- Oligonucleotide Specification Sheet
- OD 260 values
- Quantity of DNA bases
- Pure Lab Distilled Water
- Calculator (!)
Methods
- To begin, read the Oligonucleotide Specification Sheet to find the OD 260 values and Quantity of DNA bases for each primer/DNA
- Once those values are found, divide the (OD 260 value) by (Quantity of DNA bases x10).
- Multiple the result by 1000
- Divide 10 by the previous result, and multiple all by 100: the end result is the volume of primer/DNA in microlitres.
- Add Pure Lab Distilled Water to make the solution up to 100 microlitres in total.
NOTE: Extra care must be taken when following this protocol, i.e. there must be NO contamination.
