① Calculation of the synthetic concentration of the probe (-trackstrand + weight)

  1. In the standard curve (7 probes in total) of 10 nM, 2 μL of each probe is added to the 50 μL reaction system (standard curve). What is the concentration of probe required to be synthesized?

x*2/50 μL=10 nM,x=250 nM

  1. To synthesize the 250 nM probe, how much probe needs to be added to the 60 μL synthesis system at a known concentration of 3 μM?

3 μM * x / 60 μL=0.25 μM=250 nM,x=5 μL

② Calculation of reporter probe (fluorescent FAM / ROX + BHQ)

The concentrations are as follows: 1. 10 nM,4. 40 nM,5. 50 nM

When all these are added to the standard curve system, 10 + 40 + 50 is 100 nM, and 100 nM needs to be reacted, so add 120 nM to ensure the reaction can be completed.

  1. What is the concentration of the reporter probe (fluorescence)?

x* 2/50 = 120 nM (total concentration should be 120 nM), resulting in x = 3000 nM

  1. With the existing fluorescent code (concentration 10 μM), how much μL to add to the 50 μL system to synthesize the probe?

10 μM x 10 ^ 3 (converted to nM) / 50 μL (system) = 3000 nM, yielding x=15 μL

1)The initial strand concentration was 3 μM in μL, and the probe weight concentration was 250 nM in μL

1)Pre-experiments were performed on the PCR products

The pre-experiment was a step before measuring the fluorescence of all PCR products. There were only two sets of data, namely high-plus template (template is the original fragment of our PCR P), low-plus Water, which is one high and low curves. After obtaining these two curves, we can adjust the gain value in the computer. Adjusting this gain value can make our curve look better and easier to see the difference.

2)The fluorescence of the PCR products was measured

In total, we measured 30 groups of fluorescence, namely 4 groups of late and asymmetry, respectively measured 3 large groups of parallel control, at the same time, the positive control group, namely template as target, and the blank control group and Water , each do 3 groups of parallel. So in total, 4X3 + 4X3 + 1X3 + 1X3=30 groups。

1.Pour 0.5×TBE into the electrophoresis tank, add 4 μL of the configured sample, and set the 120V voltage for 80min.

2.After electrophoresis, take 30 mL of 0.5xTBE (as in the electrophoresis tank), add to the small box, add 3 μL of syn Golden dye, shake the glue into it, and shake the color with tin foil for 20min.

3.After shaking, the electrophoretic gel was irradiated.

Probe synthesis, and fluorescence curve determination

Experimental date: Aug.24th,2023

Experimental members: Ouyang Weiyi, Chu zibin, Wang Yinhao, Hu Haoyang, Liu Chenyuan

① Synthesize the probe

All samples were 10 μM (already diluted)

Calculation: The sample volume was 60 μL×250 nM = 10 μM , in order to get slightly more fluorescence, we used about 0.5 μL.

After the configuration is completed, put them into the PCR instrument, select YHX-90-1.td, the reagent capacity of 60 μL, and start running.

② Fluorescence curve determination**

Three parallel experiments were performed for each gene, two cascades with both bloker and no bloker, and three sets of blank controls, a total of 27 groups. The targets were all already diluted 10 nM.

The enzyme should be added to the wall of the tube, and then put into qPCR instrument after centrifugation.

The qPCR instrument was adjusted in advance, with cycles of 1000,25 degrees and 5s per cycle. Green fluorescence gain 7.67 and yellow fluorescence gain 9.33.
