Hi,
I have a few questions regarding DNA-Standards for quantitative PCR. We
have cloned our target sequence into a plasmid. What would you suggest:
Using native or linearised Plasmid for standards ?
How do you produce your linearised Standard ?
(We tried gel elution using QuiaExII, which seem'd to work)
Do you recommend Carrier DNA and which type ? (We used Salmon Sperm DNA
from Stratagene which had a profound negative effect on PCR-reaction)
Which method of DNA-Quantification do you prefer ? (What about your
experience with OD at 260 nm compared to other, more sophisticated methods?)
How about long-term storage of your standards ? Does this work, or do you
prefere to produce a new set of standards after a period of time ?
Thank you very much.
