I run Reverse Transcription
PCR. The
PCR product is 240bp. I use 22mer primers.
Program
Intial denaturisation - 95deg C - 90 seconds
40 cycles
Denaturisation 95 deg C- 30 second
Anealing 64 Deg C - 30 second
Extension 68 Deg C- 1 minute
close loop
Final extension 68 Deg C-2 minutes
The
PCR was working fine till couple of weaks. Now I get only a high molecular weight smear ( most DNA stuck on the well). I have changed following to check
1. Changed the primer stock
2. Reautoclaved all the materials used
3. Have tried with different cDNA samples which were working previously.
4. Used different
PCR machines.
5. GAPDH house keeping gene gives a good product for the cDNA samples
All of them now giving a high molecular weight smear.Please advise.
