We use this station to perform our PCR and avoid contamination. We used to run PCRs but after several contamination incidents in our samples, we choose to work under a workstation. Since the acquisition of the PCR workstation, no more contamination issues have been detected.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Starting Material

DNA or RNA sample

Protocol Overview

We turn on the UV lamp for 15 minutes before starting to work. Next, after cleaning with 70% ethanol, we prepare our PCR master mix in the workstation.

Tips

If working with RNA, an extra cleaning step is recommended like with RNAse Zap.
