Prepare the
Reaction Plate
1. Prepare the negative control reactions for the target:
a. To an appropriately sized tube, add the volumes of reaction mix and water
listed below.
b. Mix the reaction by gently pipetting up and down, then cap the tube.
c. Centrifuge the tube briefly to remove air bubbles.
d. Add 25 µL of the negative control reaction to the appropriate wells in the
reaction plate.
2. For each replicate group, prepare the standard reactions:
a. To appropriately sized tubes, add the volumes of reaction mix and standard
listed below.
b.
Mix the reactions by gently pipetting up and down, then cap the tubes.
c.
Centrifuge the tubes briefly to remove air bubbles.
d.
Add 25 µL of the standard reaction to the appropriate wells in the reaction plate.
