A student has a let-23 gene with concentration 79ul Now he wants to know the amount needed per 30 ul reactions. Fill in the boxes for the appropriate amounts needed for the reactions Component Final concentration Amount needed per 30 ul reaction 20 nglu plasmid DNA 10X EcoRI Buffer 1 U/ul EcoR mol grade water EcoRI 0.2 U/ul total volume 30 ul Component Final concentration Amount needed per 30 ul reaction plasmid DNA 10X Buffer 1 10X BSA mol grade water 20 ng/ul Sacl 1X total volume 30 ul

Explanation / Answer

Plasmid DNA stock concentration            = 79ng/ul

EcoR1:

Plasmid DNA

Plasmid DNA stock concentration                 =        79ng/ul

Required final plasmid DNA concentration =        20ng/ul

Final volume =        30ul

M1V1    (Concentrated)                                      =        M2V2 (Diluted)   

79ng/ul                        *          xul                   =          20ng/ul*30ul

                                                Xul                  =          20ng/ul*30ul/79ng/ul

                                                                        =          7.594ul

We have to take 7.594ul from 79ng/ul stock plasmid DNA to get 20ng/ul for 30ul reaction mixture

10X EcoR1 buffer:

Stock buffer concentration                 =          10X

Required final buffer concentration =          1X

M1V1    (Concentrated)                        =         M2V2 (Diluted)

10X     *          xul                               =          1X*30ul

                        xul                               =          1X*30ul/10X

                                                            =          3ul

We have to take 3ul from 10X EcoR1 buffer stock to get 1x for 30ul reaction mixture

EcoR1 enzyme:

EcoR1 enzyme stock concentration                = 1u/ul

Required final plasmid DNA concentration   =0.2u/ul

Final volume                                                   =30ul

M1V1    (Concentrated)                                   =          M2V2 (Diluted)

1u/ul    *                      xul                               =          0.2u/ul*30ul

                                    Xul                              =          0.2u/ul*30ul/1u/ul      

                                                                        =          6ul

We have to take 6ul from EcoR1 enzyme stock to get 0.2u/ul for 30ul reaction mixture

Plasmid DNA

Plasmid DNA stock concentration                 = 79ng/ul

Required final plasmid DNA concentration     =20ng/ul

Final volume                                                     =30ul

M1V1    (Concentrated)                                     =        M2V2 (Diluted)

                                                                        =          7.594ul

We have to take 7.594ul from 79ng/ul stock plasmid DNA to get 20ng/ul for 30ul reaction mixture

10X buffer1:

Stock buffer concentration                 =          10X

Required final buffer concentration   =          1X

                                                            =          3ul

We have to take 3ul from 10X buffer stock to get 1x for 30ul reaction

10X BSA:

Stock BSA concentration                   =          10X

Required final buffer concentration   =          1X
