Dna engine dyad thermocycler

Manufactured by Bio-Rad
Sourced in United States

The DNA Engine Dyad Thermocycler is a laboratory instrument designed for performing polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of DNA samples. It features two independent heating blocks that can be programmed to run separate protocols simultaneously. The device precisely controls the temperature and cycling required for the PCR process.

Genotyping of Polymorphic Variants

The polymorphic variants mentioned in Table 1 were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). PCR amplification was carried out in a final volume of 25 µL using a DNA Engine Dyad Thermocycler (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., Hercules, CA, USA). The reaction mixture consisted of 100 ng of genomic DNA, 0.25 µM of each primer (TiBMolBiol, Berlin, Germany), 1 U of Taq DNA polymerase and respective buffer (DreamTaq Green DNA polymerase, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), 200 µM dNTP Mix (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) and deionized water. PCR reaction conditions were optimized for each polymorphism. Characteristics of the polymorphisms and the specific primer sequences are shown in Table 2. Amplified fragments were then digested with the appropriate restriction enzyme (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and visualized after electrophoresis on 2% or 3% agarose gel with Midori Green Advanced DNA Stain (Nippon Genetics, Europe GmbH, Düren, Germany).

The enzymatic activity of purified His6-GkCblS protein was assayed using a modification of the α-R kinase assay (Gray & Escalante-Semerena, 2010 (link)). Reaction mixtures (100 μL) contained HEPES buffer (50 mM, pH 7.4), MgCl2 (5 mM), KCl (750 mM), TCEP (5 mM), ATP (0.5 mM), α-ribazole (0.25 mM) and protein (3 μg); α-R was obtained as described (Gray & Escalante-Semerena, 2010 (link)). Reactions were incubated for 3 h at 37 °C in a BioRad DNA Engine Dyad ThermoCycler, and stopped by heating for 10 min at 80 °C. A sample (120 μL) of ammonium acetate (20 mM) at pH 4.5 was added to the reactions, which were then passed over a Costar® Spin-X® Centrifuge Tube Filter (Corning; 0.45 μM cellulose acetate). The filtrates were dispensed into Prominence 12×32mm MT-IT autosampler vials (Shimadzu) and capped with 9-mm screw caps fitted with PTFE/Silicone septa (VWR).

Quantitative Real-Time PCR for Cytokine Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA was isolated using Quick-RNA™Miniprep Kit (Zymo Research, USA) according to the manufacturer recommendations. The quantity and purity of extracted RNA were determined using Eppendorf BioPhotometer plus (Eppendorf, Austria). The cDNA synthesis was carried out using High Capacity cDNA Reverse Transcription kit (ThermoFischer Scientific, USA) and the reaction was performed on BioRad DNA ENGINE Dyad thermocycler. For each reaction 2 μg of total RNA have been used. Quantitative real-time PCR was performed on StepOne Plus Real-Time PCR System (ThermoFischer Scientific, USA) platform. The IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α mRNA and GAPDH (as endogenous control) level of expression was quantified using Universal SYBR Green Master (Rox) (ThermoFischer Scientific, USA) and gene-specific primers: mIL-6 (Fw: CAACGATGATGCACTTGCAGA, R: TGGAAATTGGGGTAGGAAGGAC), m T N F -α (Fw: TTCTATGGCCCAGACCCTCA, R: GTGGTTTGCTACGACGTGGG), mIL-1β (Fw: TGCCACCTTTTGACAGTGATG, R: AAGGTCCACGGGAAAGACAC), and mGAPDH (Fw: GGGTCCCAGAGGTTCATC, R: ATCCGTTCACACCGACCTTC). Each experiment was performed three times. The relative mRNA expression was calculated as "fold change" (RQ): 2 -ΔΔCt using StepOne Software v2.3.

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.
