ing thermal cyclers with a heated lid, do not use mineral
oil. Proceed directly to step 6. Otherwise, overlay with approximately
50 l mineral oil.
6. Program the thermal cycler according to the manufacturers
instructions.
Each PCR program must start with an initial heat activation step at
95C for 15 min A typical PCR cycling program is outlined below.
For maximum yield and specificity, temperatures and cycling times
should be optimized for each new template target and primer pair.
7. Place the PCR tubes in the thermal cycler and start the cycling
program.
Note: After amplification, samples can be stored overnight at
28C or at 20C for longer storage.
Troubleshooting Strategy
This troubleshooting strategy is a process that has been specifically
designed to provide a convenient and time-saving optimization procedure
for PCR using HotStarTaq DNA Polymerase or the HotStarTaq Master Mix
Kit. It is recommended that the troubleshooting steps are followed
in the order they are listed. The scientists in QIAGEN Technical Services
are always happy to answer any questions you may have about either
the information and protocols in this handbook or molecular biology
applications (see inside front cover for contact information).
