8 10 2015 BMP2 Mech Stress 2 rep qPCR

Today I ran mechanical stress samples in replicates of two to generate data about expression values. Here I ran BMP2 . I ran NTCs on a separate plate using the same reaction volume and 9 ul of PCR water.

Primers:

The amplification and melt curves look good. There's nothing in the NTCs. I added the replicate Ct values from the opticon to the spreadsheet. You can see the replicate differences below.

19 out of the 24 samples have a difference greater than 1 ct. All of these samples need to be re run to improve replicate performance. 

You can see the raw sample data here and NTC here.

  1. I wouldn't re-run these. The melt curves suggest that there are multiple products being amplified with these primers.
