10X PCR buffer: 500 mM KCl, 100 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.5, 15 mM MgCl2 in sterile double distilled water
- 5 ml 1 M KCl
- 1 ml 1 M Tris-HCl, pH 8.5
- 150 ul 1 M MgCl2
- ddH2O to 10 ml
- 1 ml 1 M Tris-HCl, pH 8.5
PCR Deoxynucleotide Preparation: To make 12.5 ml of the PCR nucleotides at a concentration of 2 mM each nucleotide, combine the following:
- 250 ul 100 mM dATP
- 250 ul 100 mM dCTP
- 250 ul 100 mM dGTP
- 250 ul 100 mM dTTP
- 11.5 ml ddH2O
- 250 ul 100 mM dCTP
Aliquot this into 25 tubes with 500 ul in each tube. This will keep the nucleotides from being frozed and thawed too much.
To order these nucleotides, call Pharmacia at 1 800-526-3593. Order the dNTP set: 27-2035-01 dNTP set (100mM each dATP, dCTP, dGTP and dTTP- each in 250 ul volume)$174.00 for the set.
20% PEG/2.5 M NaCl:
- 7.3 g NaCl
- 10 g PEG (MW=8000) (Fisher P156-3)
Dissolve in 40 ml double distilled water by stirring, and then adjust the volume to 50 ml.
50% PEG/0.5 M NaCl:
- 5.85 g NaCl
- 100 g PEG (MW=8000) (Fisher P156-3)
Dissolve in 100 ml double distilled water by stirring, and then adjust the volume to 200 ml.
PEG:TE rinse solution: 1:3 solution of 20% PEG containing 2.5M NaCl and 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0 containing 1 mM EDTA in double distilled water.
- 250 ul 1 M Tris-HCl, pH 8.0
- 50 ul 0.5 M EDTA
- 12.5 ml 20% PEG/2.5 M NaCl.
- ddH2O to 37.5 ml
- 50 ul 0.5 M EDTA
Phenol, TE-saturated: add an equal volume of 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5-8.0, 1 mM Na2EDTA to ultrapure phenol, mix well, allow phases to separate, remove and discard upper (aqueous) phase. Repeat until the pH of the aqueous phase is between 7.5-8.0 (store at 4℃).
