DNA AMPLIFICATION FOR METABARCODING
This se up is o sequencing on he MiSeq/No aseq wi h 12s p ime s using AmpliTag
Gold Mas e Mix.
1) I you ha e ex ac ed you samples in he eDNA Ex ac ion lab, you b ing you aliquo s
wi h you in wo bags in o he PCR-se up lab. B ing also you sui om he ex ac ion lab.
2) Th ow away he ou e bag and clean wi h bleach he inne bag a ound you samples.
3) Pu you samples in he idge while you clean he hoods and equipmen ollowing he
p o ocol.
4) Take necessa y chemicals ou o he eeze 30 mins p io o wo k o de os . This akes
app ox. he same ime as UV’ing he hood a e cleaning, so do his simul aneously.
5) The PCR-mix is as ollows:

7) Gi e he Mas e Mix a ho ough o ex and spin i down.
8) Spin down he pla e wi h p ime s.
9) Add 15.0 µl o each well ha will be used in he PCR.
10) Add 2 µl o he p ime mix o each well.
11) Mo e o he o he hood be o e adding 3 µl o he DNA empla e o each well wi h
Mas e Mix. (I you samples a e in he Gene ic lab B310, you add he 3 µl o DNA in he
Me aba coding Wo ks a ion in B310).
12) Seal, w ap in bags, pu in idge while you clean he hoods ollowing he cleaning
p o ocol.
