6.4 Sample Preparation
1. It is important to optimize the PCR reaction to minimize unwanted products which may
interfere with gel analysis. The PCR products should be evaluated for purity by agarose
gel electrophoresis before being loaded onto an SSCP gel.
2. 150–300 ng of amplified DNA (usually 5–10% of the total PCR volume) can be loaded
per well. Aliquot the proper amount of sample into separate tubes and add equal volume
of 2x SSCP gel loading dye. For extra control, the undenatured samples can be run on the
gel.
3. Denature the samples at 95 °C for 5 minutes and then place on ice.
6.5 Temperature Controller
The temperature controller maintains the desired buffer temperature and controls
the temperature ramp rate in the DCode system (Figure 6.2). The actual and set buffer
temperatures are displayed in degrees Celsius. The set temperature and the temperature
ramp rate (RR) can be adjusted by using the raise and lower buttons. The °C/RR button
is used to scroll between the two parameters. The temperature controller is used for
SSCP runs below room temperature. The external chiller is set to chill the buffer and the
heater is used to maintain the desired running temperature.
Fig. 6.2. The Temperature Controller displays the actual temperature, set temperature, and
temperature ramp rate.
