One Caution: qPCR is subject to the same contamination concerns as end-point PCR, but those concerns are magnified because the technique is so sensitive. Avoiding contamination is very important in order to generate trustworthy qPCR results. Tips to help you succeed with qPCR: 1. Use aerosol-resistant pipette tips, and have designated pipettors and tips for pre- and post-amplification steps. 2. Wear gloves. Change them frequently. 3. Have designated areas for pre- and post-amplification work. 4. Use “master mixes” to minimize variability. A master mix is a ready-to-use mixture of the reaction components (excluding primers and sample) that you create for multiple reactions. Because you pipet larger volumes to make the master mix, and all of the reactions get their components from the same master mix, you reduce variability from reaction to reaction. 5. Dispense primers into aliquots to minimize freeze-thaw cycles and the possibility of introducing contaminants into a primer stock.
