According to all known laws
of aviation,
there is no way a bee
should be able to fly.
Its wings are too small to get
its fat little body off the ground.
The bee, of course, flies anyway
because bees don't care
what humans think is impossible.
Yellow, black. Yellow, black.
Yellow, black. Yellow, black.

Notes:
Total RNA sample 5 used, prepared on Friday 02/06 by Jorge (Concentration: 126 ng/µl)
Procedure:
Take 1 µl presample from stock ; add with 2 µl nf H2O and 3 µl 2x RNA LD
Put 5 µl of sample on device
Take 1 µl of sample immediately, add with 2 µl nf H2O and 3 µl 2x RNA LD
Wait 15 minutes
Take 1 µl of sample immediately, add with 2 µl nf H2O and 3 µl 2x RNA LD
Store at -80 °C
What still needs to be done:
Cook samples at 95 °C for 10 minutes and put directly on ice afterwards (to prevent refolding)
Load on Gel and quantify

Participants: Julian, Patrick
Notes:
Three lysis methods were used: Alkaline Lysis, heat lysis with SDS and Trizol-Lyse.
No vortexing for lysis (may break up cells and won't be available in our device), only room-temperature (apart form SDS as reference)
Cells had OD of 5.97 -> 4.78*10^9 cells according to http://www.genomics.agilent.com/biocalculators/calcODBacterial.jsp?_requestid=1029158

Lysis-tests with acidic phenol chlorophorm extraction

Notes:
Cell suspension had OD600 (extrapolated) of 2,220 -> 1.78 x 10^9 cells/ml according to http://www.genomics.agilent.com/biocalculators/calcODBacterial.jsp?_requestid=1029158
Experiments were done with 108 and 109 cells per sample, because it failed with 10^7 cells last time
Aspiration of supernatant in phenol-chlorophorm extraction: about 2/3 aspirated (200 µl) and 1/3 (100 µl) left to not destroy interphase
No pellet after RNA precipitation (-80 °C) and subsequent centrifugation in:
NaOH, 1 min, 10^8
SDS, 10^9
Trizol, 10^8
Mistakes:
SDS, 10^9: aspirated 100 µl instead of 200 µl supernatant
NaOH, 10^8, 3 min: contamination with DNA (<10% DNA interphase transfered)
NaOH, 10^9, 3 min: added + 200 µl of SDS 109 tube
! Did not calibrate alkaline lysis solution 3 to given pH -> probably more RNA degradation
! Did store RNA at -20 °C instead of -80 -> probably more RNA degradation

FINA extraction for DNA with E. coli W3110 pre-purified gDNA
Protocol: FINA Extraction for DNA
Participants: Jorge
Observations:
The gDNA was pre-purified with the Phenol/Chloroform method.
The gDNA solution was diluted 1:100, 1:1000, 1:100000, 1:10e6 and 1:10e8. Each dilution was then used as a sample for the FINA extraction.
From each dilution, two extractions were performed. One as in protocol (1N-5N), the other without the NaOH washing step (1-5).
As negative control (KK) FINA extraction was performed as in protocol with nuclease free water as sample.

Observations
For the membranes, no template was directly pipette. Instead, the membranes were put in the tube.
p-bGal_N_N was used as forward primer
p-bGal_N_C was used as reverse primer
Annealing was performed at 61 ºC
The amplification step was 90 s long
A 1.5% agarose gel was run in TAE-buffer at 110 V for 80 min to check for PCR-products
Quick-Load Purple 2-Log DNA Ladder (N0550S) was used as ladder

The extraction was done when the culture had an OD600 of 2.33.
The cells were diluted 1:1, 1:100, 1:10000, 1:10e6 and 1:10e8 before the extraction.
Each dilution was used as a sample for the FINA extraction. In addition, three 1:1 dilutions were used as samples for FINA extraction: two according to protocol and the third with 300 ul lysis buffer as washing buffer. One of the 1:1 membranes was put in nuclease free water and incubated at RT for 20 min in order for the bounded DNA to go into solution.
Q5-PCR for beta-galactosidase from E. coli with FINA-DNA samples from 23.08.17
Protocol: PCR amplification with Q5 Master Mix
Participants: Jorge, Benedikt
Observations
The membranes from the FINA extraction were directly put into the PCR-mix.
No template DNA was directly pipetted.
p-bGal_N_N was used as forward primer.
p-bGal_N_C was used as reverse primer.
Annealing was performed at 61 ºC.
The amplification step was 90 s long.
A 1.5% agarose gel was run in TAE-buffer at 110 V for 80 min to check for PCR-products.
Afte the PCR, only 2,5,L and KK were loaded in the gel, as the other tubes had no liquid.
The gel was loaded before it was submerged in TAE-buffer.
Quick-Load Purple 2-Log DNA Ladder (N0550S) was used as ladder
Results
2: 1:100 dilution FINA extraction performed as in protocol
L: 1:1 dilution FINA extraction performed with 300 ul lysis buffer as washing buffer.
KK: negative control for FINA extraction (LB-medium as sample).

Heat-only at 93 °C for 15 min, diluted wiht tap water to simulate actual usage scenario (saliva etc..)
Results
Hardly any RNA detectable (concentration < 10 ug/ml). Abysmal 260/280-ratio
-> Heat-only lysis is too inefficient for that low cell counts, use 10^9 next time.
