Pool2.

PRIMER STOCKS (100micromolar (µM) )

If you have ordered each primer independently and need to generate primer pool stocks: add 5µL of each primer from Pool 1 to a 1.5mL Eppendorf labeled “Pool 1 (100µM)” and each primer from Pool 2 to a 1.5mL Eppendorf labelled “Pool 2 (100µM)”. These are your 100micromolar (µM) stocks of each primer pool.

WORKING PRIMERS (10micromolar (µM) )

Dilute the primer stocks 1:10 in molecular grade water, to generate 10µM primer working stocks . It is recommend that multiple aliquots of each primer pool are made to in case of degradation or contamination.

POOLING OF PRIMERS

Label two 1.5mL Eppendorf tubes, one as POOL1 and the another as POOL2 .

Add 10µL of each of the primers of set 1 to the Eppendorf tube labelled POOL1, final concentration will be 10micromolar (µM)

Add 10µL of each of the primers of set 2 to the Eppendorf tube labelled POOL2, final concentration will be 10micromolar (µM)

In the PCR hood set up the multiplex mastermix reaction as follows in 2 0.2mL PCR tubes. We use the

Component Pool 1 Pool 2 Final Concentration

5X Kapa HotStart Buffer 2.5µL 2.5µL 1X

25 mM MgCl2 0.75µL 0.75µL 1.5millimolar (mM)

10 mM dNTPs 0.25µL 0.25µL 0.2millimolar (mM)

Primer Pool 1 or 2 (10µM ea) 0.6µL 0.6µL 0.5micromolar (µM)

Kapa Taq HotStart Polymerase 0.1µL 0.1µL 0.5U

Nuclease-free water 5.8µL 5.8µL

Final mastermix volume 10.0µL 10.0µL

Note

A PCR mastermix for each pool should be made up in the mastermix cabinet and aliquoted into PCR strip tubes. Tubes should be wiped down when entering and leaving the mastermix cabinet.

In the extraction and sample addition cabinet add 2.5µL cDNA to each tube and mix well by pipetting.

The final volume will be 12.5µL

Pulse centrifuge the tubes to collect the contents at the bottom of the tube.

Set-up the following program on the thermal cycler:

Step Temperature Time Cycles

Heat Activation 98°C 0h 0m 30s 1

Denaturation 95°C 0h 0m 15s 25-35

Annealing and Extension 60°C 0h 5m 0s 25-35

Amplicon quantification to make an equimolar mixture.

Put 1µL of each pool in a Nanodrop or similar spectometer and quantify the DNA concentration.

Label a 1.5mLEppendorf tube for each sample and make a equimolar mix with the two pools.

Calculate to achieve a final concentration of 50

Quantify DNA using a Qubit or other method.

Quantification using Nanodrop is not recommended for a good estimation of the final pool.
