The optimization of the primer quantity in the master mix was performed by mixing primers together at several quantities between 1 and 30 pmol. We started with equal concentrations of horse and porcine primers. The ratio of primer concentrations was adjusted afterwards, so that both amplicons were produced with high efficiency in the same reaction.
The PCR amplifications were performed in a final volume of 20 μL containing 4 μL of EvaGreen qPCR Mix (Solis Bio Dyne, Estonia), 10 pmol of horse primers, 14 pmol of porcine primers, and 200 ng of DNA template using a CFX96 Touch™ real-time PCR Detection System (BioRad, Hercules, USA). After an initial heat denaturation step at 94℃ for 10 min, 35 cycles were programmed as follows: 94℃ for 15 s, 58℃ for 20 s, and 72℃ for 20 s. All of the PCR reactions were applied in duplicate in two independent experiments.
At the end of each PCR, melting curve analysis tools of the CFX96 Touch™ real-time PCR Detection System (BioRad, Hercules, USA) were used to identify species specific Mp values of the amplified region of the template DNA that belong to reference meat samples. A melting curve analysis was programmed for its ramp formed from 72 to 95℃ by raising 1℃ in each step. The process paused for 90 s to perform a pre-melt conditioning on the first step and for 5 s for each step afterwards.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
