Optimizing Primer Concentrations<br />

Optimizing Primer Concentrations for <strong>PCR</strong><br />

Overview<br />

The purpose of the procedure below is to determine the minimum<br />

primer concentrations giving the lowest threshold cycle (C T ) <strong>and</strong><br />

maximum ∆R n while minimizing nonspecific amplification. The<br />

reaction volumes are 50 µL. Use 10 to 100 ng of genomic DNA or 1<br />

to 10 ng of cDNA template.<br />

Use <strong>PCR</strong> <strong>Master</strong> <strong>Mix</strong> to run four replicates of each of the nine<br />

conditions shown in the table below. The master mix is described in<br />

“<strong>PCR</strong> <strong>Master</strong> <strong>Mix</strong> for Primer Optimization” on page 4-4.<br />
