RAPD PCR Colony Miniprep

  Edit the program or pick up a program (No 10) if the program has been set. Reaction time for RAPD PCR . 1 cycle : Denature 95 C for 2 min 45 cycle of Denature 94 C 15 sec Anneal 40 C 30 sec Extend 72 C 90 sec 1 cycle of 72 C for 5 min 4 C hold Inoculate a touched-bacterial colony with a sterile toothpick into 100 µl of sterile H2O and voltex the tube. Boil (95 C) for 5 min in the water bath Cool on the ice for 1-2 min and voltex. Spin (14 K, 5 min). Withdraw 2 µl of the sample (supernatent), add to 16 µl H2O in the 0.2 ml tube, and add a mixture of 2.5 µl 10X PCR buffer, 2 µl 2.5 µM primer , 2 µl 2.5 mM dNTP (2.5 mM each of dATP, dCTP, dGTP, and dTTP) and 0.5 U AmpliTaq. Seal the tube cap. RUN to start the program. After the whole cycle, add 2.5 µl stopping dye. Withdraw 10 or 12.5 µl of sample with a P-20 pipet and subject to electrophoresis (1.2 or 1.4 % agarose gel, 160 V) for 1 hr. Reference: Zon, L. I., Dorfman, D. M., Orkin, S. H. 1989.
