Notes

  • Continuting processing the Barott and Brown Pdam samples using the protocol detailed on 10/27/22.

  • For my records: Took new Proteinase K, RNA/DNA Prep Buffer, and RNA/DNA Wash Buffer from the kit labelled 1/2 rec’d 10/4/22.

  • See bead-beating notes below with Qubit values.

Qubit Results

  • Used Broad range dsDNA and RNA Qubit Protocol
  • All samples read twice, standard only read once

DNA Standards: 104.76 (S1) & 23344.85 (S2)

DNA and RNA Quality Check: Gel, using Kristina’s gel protocol at the bottom of this page.

Note: Gel was only run for 40 minutes due to time constraints so is a little smushed-looking but all lanes look great!
