Zebrafish Care and Experimental Techniques: Real Time PCR

-
Materials:
-primers (24 and 25 are for slitrk 3)
-cDNA (40 hour/90 hour)
-10mM dNTP (nucleotides)
-buffer 5x
-water
-enzyme (cooler in freezer)

Combine in a PCR tube (50 microliters of solution):
1. 35.5 uL of water
2. 10uL 5x buffer
2. 1uL of JR 24
3. 1uL of JR 25
4. 1uL of dNTP
5.1uL of cDNA
6. 0.5 uL of Fusion hot start enzyme

Add water to the PCR tube first. Make sure you use the PCR tubes because they fit in the machine.
After all contents have been added, flick PCR tube and centrifuge for 4 seconds.

To Run the PCR Machine:
The power switch is on the back. The lid will click, and then the wheel should be twisted until you feel resistance.
Program: JRRTPCR
enable heated lid
The reaction takes several hours. The machine with have a block temp of 4 degrees when done.
Remember to turn off the machine when finished using it.

Prepare 6X Laemmli buffer

-
Laemmli is a sample buffer to use in western blot. 6X sample buffer is added to each protein sample and is boiled or heated for 5-10 minutes. Recipe to prepare 10 ml: - 1.2gr SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate) - 6mg bromophenol blue - 4.7ml glycerol - 1.2ml Tris 0.5M pH6.8 - 2.1ml dwater warm it a little bit and shake it till everything is dissolved. It takes time. - add 0.93gr DTT. Wait until it is completely dissolved. Aliquote and keep frozen at-20ºC.

0.1 M TEA: TEA = Triethanolamine You will dilute TEA 1:10 in Millipore water: Pour 50 mL TEA into a 50 mL conical tube (TEA is very viscuous, so best to measure it in something that is disposable). Pour TEA from conical tube into 450 mL Millipore water with stirring. pH to 8.0

Image
It is a known fact for anyone working in a laboratory be it the students, the researchers, scientists or lab assistants, it is necessary to follow safety rules and guidelines for their own safety. All laboratories have their lab safety symbols and lab safety equipments like goggles, mask, dress etc. At the same time, it is also very essential that a laboratory is well-maintained and taken care of so as to prevent any kind of dangers involved while working in a lab. As per rule, there should be routine maintenance and safety checks in a laboratory. Infact, it should be the duty of every person working in a laboratory to do a quick safety check after the completion of each experiment and before the starting of a new one. Or a responsible personnel should be assigned the duty to clean the laboratory and perform simple maintenance for lab care and safety . Laboratory Maintenance Presenting below few points which should be considered for laboratory maintenance: Bench:
