Fam labeled probe

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

FAM-labeled probes are fluorescent DNA or RNA oligonucleotides that are labeled with the fluorescent dye FAM (6-carboxyfluorescein). These probes are designed to hybridize to a specific target sequence and emit fluorescence upon binding, which can be detected and quantified.

Relative mitochondrial DNA content of brown adipose tissue was determined using a modified protocol by Humble M et al. 2012 (new reference 26 (link)). Briefly, BAT was lysed in 200μl of 25mM NaOH per 15mg of tissue for 2 hours at 98°C, then neutralized with 20 μl of 1M Tris pH 8. Tissue lysates were subjected to PCR using the following cycling protocol: 95°C for 10 min, and 40 cycles at 95°C for 15s and 60°C for 1 min. All reactions were performed in duplicate and 2 μl of a diluted (1:100) lysate was used in a 25 μl reaction with TaqMan 2X Universal Mix (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA). FAM-labeled probes targeting the mitochondrial-specific gene Nd1(Applied Biosystems) and nuclear Actin (Applied Biosystems) were added to separate reactions. PCR was carried out on a BioRad MyQ iCycler to generate Ct values for each reaction. Relative mitochondrial DNA content was determined by the ratio of Nd1 to Actin Ct values for a given lysate.

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.
