Temp Gradient Test to min. non specific amplification and max. product
Will just test pcr1 and check via bioanalyzer using higher cycling numbers (50 cycles instead of 20)
Normalize eDNA to 10 ng/ul.

Pool duplicates together.
Purify samples using modified manual AxyPrep MagBead PCR Clean-Up :
Equilibrate Beads to room Temperature
Pool Duplicate PCR reactions (Transfer 15 ul of one replicate to the other)
Add 24 ul of MagBeads to each well; Pipette mix up and down 10 times.
Incubate at RT for 5 minutes
Secure plate on magnet plate; incubate at RT for 5 minutes (until wells are clear)
Remove 65 ul from each well; keep tips to left or right depending on the column to avoid bead pellet.
Add 100 ul Fresh 80% EtOH to each well. Incubate 30 seconds. Remove 100 ul from each well
Add 100 ul Fresh 80% EtOH to each well. Incubate 30 seconds. Remove 100 ul from each well
Reaspirate from each well to assure maximum EtOH removal
Allow plate to air dry for 7 minutes.
Remove sample plate from magnet plate.
Add 40 ul TE; pipette mix 10+ times. Incubate 2 minutes at RT.
Place sample plate back on magnet for 5 minutes or until all wells are cleared.
Transfer 40 ul to a clean PCR plate.
Test Full Prep with best Annealing Temp check via qPCR:
Add 11 ul Master mix to each well of a new plate:
