Adapt your own PCR protocol or attach one from the literature or manufacturer.
Example PCR Protocol (adapted from Thermo Phusion PCR Kit)
1.
Mix into a PCR tube:
10 µL Phusion Buffer
5 µL 2 mM dNTPs
2 µL Forward Primer (10 µM)
2 µL Reverse Primer (10 µM)
2 µL Genomic Template (less for plasmid template)
1 µL Phusion polymerase
28 µL Distilled Water (up to 50 µL)
2.
PCR Program
Start: 98 °C for 30 sec.
Cycle: 98 °C for 10 sec.
45-72 °C for 15 sec. (use 3 degrees above the primer Tm for annealing temperature)
72 °C for 15-30 sec./kb
No. of Cycles: 25-35
72 °C for 5-10 min.
End: 4 °C forever
Use tables with formulas to make a master mix calculation. Edit the number of reactions to see it in action!
