Category: FL002_hyb_temperature_test Contact name: Lisa Meadows Aim: Further test for optimal hyb temperature conditions for FL002 slides using male vs female and spike RNA. Material: Spike mixes FL002 A and FL002 B (made 21/6/05): A:B r0: 01:01 - 4 spikes 300pg:300pg (on slide) r1: 1.6:1 (8:5) - 2 spikes 320pg:200pg r2: 1.8:1 (9:5) - 2 spikes 360pg:200pg r3: 02:01 - 2 spikes 400pg:200pg r4: 2.2:1 (11:5) - 2 spikes 440pg:200pg r5: 2.4:1 (12:5) - 2 spikes 480pg:200pg male total RNA (1.20ug/ul - extratced 28/06/05) female total RNA (1.53ug/ul - extracted 28/06/05) Array type: FL002 Slide numbers: S104757 S104759 S104760 S104764 S104768 S104777 Protocol: Used same sample as for FL002_hyb_temp_test2 (already labelled and stored at -20C): decided to label the double amount of RNA and spikemix per tube to save Dye costs. 12 tubes: mixed 100ug male RNA with 40ul SpikeMix A 12 tubes: mixed 100ug female RNA with 40ul SpikeMix B speed vac and resuspended in 29ul DEPC-water/oligo dT premix Label as 6 x Cy3: male + A 6 x Cy5: female + B 6 x Cy3: female + B 6 x Cy5: male + A combined labelling partners and after purifcation pooled a) Cy3: male + A / Cy5: female + B b) Cy3: female + B / Cy5: male + A made 12 aliquots of a and b => 24 slides froze 12 slides worth after drying in speed vac at -20 degree. used hyb temperatures: 49 C Scanner: Axon Cy3-PMT Cy5-PMT S104757 550 600 S104759 550 600 S104760 550 600 S104764 550 600 S104768 550 600 S104777 550 600 Results: Conclusions: Next steps: Other comments:
