Amplify DNA
This step adds the DNA samples to the plates. The samples are denatured and neutralized to prepare them
for amplification.
Consumables
u
MA1 (2 tubes)
u
MA2 (2 tubes)
u
MSM (2 tubes)
u
0.1N NaOH (15 ml)
u
96-well 0.8 ml microplate (midi) (1 plate)
u
DNA plate with 48 or 96 DNA samples (50 ng/μl) (midi or TCY) (1 plate)
u
Cap mats
Preparation
1
Preheat the Illumina Hybridization Oven in the post-amp area to 37°C and allow the temperature to
equilibrate.
2
Prepare the following consumables:
Item
Storage
Instructions
DNA
-25°C to -15°C
Thaw at room temperature. DNA must be 50 ng/µl, resuspended in TE (10 mM Tris,
1mM EDTA.
MA1
Room
temperature
Thaw at room temperature. Invert 10 times to mix, and then pulse centrifuge to
eliminate bubbles and collect reagent at the bottom of the tube.
MA2
-25°C to -15°C
Thaw at room temperature. Invert 10 times to mix, and then pulse centrifuge to
eliminate bubbles and collect reagent at the bottom of the tube.
MSM
-25°C to -15°C
Thaw at room temperature. Invert 10 times to mix, and then pulse centrifuge to
eliminate bubbles and collect reagent at the bottom of the tube.
3
Apply an MSA1 barcode label to a new midi plate.
Procedure
1
If you do not already have a DNA plate, add DNA into either of the following:
u
Midi plate: 20 µl to each DNA well
u
TCY plate: 10 µl to each DNA well
Apply a barcode label to the new DNA plate.
2
At the robot PC, select MSA1 Tasks | Make MSA1.
3
In the Basic Run Parameters pane, enter the Number of DNA plates.
The robot PC updates the Required Run Items and the bed map to show the correct position of items on
the robot bed.
NOTE
If you are using Illumina LIMS, you cannot change the number of DNA samples on this screen. The Illumina
LIMS software processes the correct number of samples.
