Thermocycler Conditions
- 1 Cycle - 6 minutes at 95 degrees Celsius
- 36 cycles of:
- 1 minute at 95 degrees Celsius
- 1 minute at 58 degrees Celsius ( this step done at 65 degrees Celsius for higher GC content )
- 1 minute at 72 degrees Celsius
- 1 Cycle - 10 minutes at 72 degrees Celsius then HOLD at 4 degrees Celsius
Conditions were varied as needed. For example in cases of longer products all 1 minute times were increased to 1.5 or even 3 minutes
