~90 samples from Kelly Goodwin looking at AMF and EMF using AMF and ITS primers

Added MC in G12 and filled the rest with NTC for a full plate

  • Add 9 ul to each well of a hard shell, full skirt plate. Seal with bubble strips and store in refrigerator until needed label. (If doing manually, one needs 2 ul of template and 2 ul of the primers).

MagBead Cleanup:

Plates were cleaned up utilizing the BenchSmart 96 channel pipette:

  • Equilibrate Beads to room Temperature

  • Add 24 ul of MagBeads to each well and 15 ul of replicate to same well of replicate

  • 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 4 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 labeled transparent plate (Plate name_PCR_MIDs)

  • Normalize to 5 ng/ul

  • Store in -20 until ready to qPCR

Tapestation

2 samples, 1 Mock Community positive control, and one NTC were checked for amplification for both loci. They matched expectations.

qPCR and dilution

Will be combined with 1EAST and SeqWellLambda2.

SeqWellLambda2 has a concentration of 7 nM

1EMF1_AMF has a concentration of 3.92 nM

1EMF_ITS has a concentration of 1.17 nM

1EAST has a concentration of 0.5 nM

2.2 ul SeqWellLambda2 will give us 300 pM in 50 ul

20 ul 1EAST will give us 200 pM in 50 ul

3.2 ul 1EMF_AMF will give us 250 pM in 50 ul

7.2 ul 1EMF_ITS will give us 250 pM in 50 ul

Add 17.4ul RSB to bring us to 1nM total
