Make the PCR Cocktail

This table lists the ingredients, stock reagent concentrations, and concentrations in the PCR reaction.

Prepare a "PCR cocktail" to be added to your samples to achieve these concentrations. Make enough cocktail to run nine samples

[Four student samples + three positive controls + one negative control + one extra.]

{Hint: Remember that the concentration in the reaction is not the same as the concentration in the cocktail!]

Component Stock Concentration Concentration in the PCR reaction Volume per reaction Volume to make cocktail
Sterile water - -  µl  µl
PCR buffer w/ MgCl2 10x 1x  µl  µl
Nucleotide mix 10 mM 0.2 mM  µl  µl
Primer 1 (Forward) 10 µM 1.0 µM  µl  µl
