1EAST
128 samples from Isaaac Eastlund for 16S amplicon
Added TE blank to all wells of column 5 except F5 and G5 that got mock community
MasterMix (make for 16 plates in 50mL conical tube)

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.
