denature 94c for 2 minute then 10 cycle for 94c 30sec and annealing temp 71c to 61c then 15 cycle 61c annealing 72 c extension and final extension 72c for 4minute
Touchdown is achieved by setting the ramp rate on the system. You can create a regular program with all the steps you have mentioned, only keeping temperature of the touchdown step as 71C. Then for that specific step, select ramp rate to be -1C/ cycle.
To make a touchdown PCR profile on a thermal cycler, you can follow these steps:
Set up the PCR reaction mixture according to the protocol for your specific application.
Set the initial denaturation temperature to 95°C for 5 minutes.
Set the annealing temperature to 71°C for the first cycle.
Set the extension temperature to 72°C for the first cycle.
Program the thermal cycler to run 10 cycles, decreasing the annealing temperature by 1°C per cycle.
Program the thermal cycler to run 15 cycles, keeping the annealing temperature at 61°C.
After the 25th cycle, end the reaction with a final extension at 72°C for 10 minutes.
It's important to note that the specific parameters of the touchdown PCR profile may need to be adjusted depending on the specific PCR application, so it's always a good idea to consult the literature or a PCR expert to optimize the protocol for your particular experiment. Additionally, it's important to properly calibrate your thermal cycler to ensure accurate temperature control during the PCR reaction.
