8 18 2015 18s/28s primer check qPCR

While looking for new normalizing primers to add to the EF1d and actin that I already have I've developed primers for 18s and 28s. The 18s are based on sequences for Ostrea conchaphila. The 28s primer is developed from the 28s sequence from the O.lurida Transcriptome version 3. I tested these primers on the mechanical stress samples in a 1:9 dilution.

The 18s primers each have issues. The first has seemingly random amplification and poor melt curves. The second seems to autoamplify and has NTCs with amplification equal to the samples. 
The 28s primer looks great. It has strong amplification with only primer dimers appearing in the NTCs. I think this should be used for the next normalizing primers.
