7 23 2015 GABABR qPCR 2

Today I ran duplicates for the targets I ran last week. I'm hoping to get strong replicates for analysis. Here I ran the GABABR which last week had issues with the NTC. 

Primers:

1620	GABABR1_FWD	CCGAGGAGGACACGAAACTC	JH	5/21/2015	20	55		O.lurida	Gamma-aminobutyric acid type B receptor subunit 1 (GABA-B receptor 1) (GABA-B-R1) (GABA-BR1) (GABABR1) (Gb1)	Q9WV18
1619	GABABR1_REV	CGGACAGGTTCTGGATTCCG	JH	5/21/2015	20	55		O.lurida	Gamma-aminobutyric acid type B receptor subunit 1 (GABA-B receptor 1) (GABA-B-R1) (GABA-BR1) (GABABR1) (Gb1)	Q9WV18

The Amplification curves look good, there's no amplification in the NTCs. This looks good, now I just need to compare the Ct values to see how it aligns with last weeks.

The reps look terribly inaccurate and no where near close. I'm not sure what would cause this issue but it must be something that was wrong with the original CFX run. I need to do another rep on this one with the Opticon.
