This lab offers students an introduction to the world of quantitative PCR. Using low cost tools, students will be able to directly visualize amplification of DNA and will be able to calculate relative concentrations of DNA template. No gels needed!
Watch PCR product glow with the naked eye — no need for gels!
Students will perform a modified version of a quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). qPCR monitors the amount of PCR product produced in real-time using fluorescent dyes or probes. This lab modifies the reaction so that students can observe the change in fluorescence first hand, without the need for a qPCR machine and using low cost equipment.
This activity serves as an excellent illustrative learning tool for how fluorescence and PCR can be used to quantify nucleic acids while also providing an introduction to the process of PCR in general.
Level: Intermediate to advanced.
The P51™ qPCR Lab kit contains reagents for 8 lab groups of up to 4 students each (32 students):
Required equipment:
