DNA sample # 1 is at a concentration of 50 ug/ml and DNA sample # 2 is at a concentration of 250 ng/ul. The protocol says to mix 500 ng of each molecule together and bring the volume up to a final of 50 ul with sterile ddH20. Determine how many ul of each DNA to dispense into a tube and the additional volume of ddH20 needed (5) You have just built a 10 KL (Kiloliter) swimming pool. As you fill your new swimming pool with water you decide to save money on chemical treatment supplies by adding the appropriate chemicals in solid form. Based on the desired concentration [mg/L] of the 3 chemicals listed below, determine how much mass (in Kg) of each chemical you need to add to the swimming pool while you fill it up. Also, determine the total cost to treat your pool if each chemical is priced in bulk at $10/ Kg at your local pool store supplier. A) Sodium Hypochlorate: 500 mg/L B) EDTA (EthylDiamine TrisAcetate): 100 mg /L C) Sodium Chloride: 25 mg / L D) Total Cost Calculation: (6) Set up the following 100 ul PCR reaction based on the information given.

Did you encounter any difficulties or problems with making dilutions? 2. Did you learn a new method for making dilutions?

Explanation / Answer

Question 4) Concentration of sample 1 is 50 ug/ml=(50*1000) ng/ml=50000 ng/ml

So, 50000 ng is present in 1000 ul.

500 ng is present in =(1000*500)/50000=10 ul

Concentration of sample 2 is 250 ng/ul, so 500 ng is present in 2 ul.

Final volume to be made=50 ul, so ddH2O required=50-(10+2)=38 ul

So the required volumes of sample 1, sample 2 and ddH2O are 10 ul, 2 ul and 38 ul, respectively.
