No or very faint bands in PFGE, WHY ??

19 April 2021 0 2K Report

Dear All,

This is my third try, fresh new buffers were prepared, seakem gold agarose was used for the plugs and the gel, bacterial O.D was ~1, agarose concentration in plugs was 1.8%

What is the difference between mathematical R^4 space and physical 4D unit space?

We assume that the difference is huge and that it is not possible to compare the two spaces. The R^4 mathematical space considers time as an external controller and the space itself is immobile in...

Is it true that the vacuum bomb is about to arrive?

We assume this to be true. We also assume that the vacuum bomb is the latest version of explosives with an explosive power of a few to ten kg of TNT equivalent. It has the unique characteristic of...

Is it true that science is leaving the era of mathematics and entering the era of matrix mechanics?

We assume this to be true. Science leaves the era of mathematics and enters the era of matrix mechanics and the turning point is the discovery of numerical statistical theory called Cairo...

Can we find a statistical matrix mechanics equivalent to the Schrödinger equation?

We assume that we can find a statistical matrix mechanics equivalent to Schrödinger's PDE in two consecutive steps: i-Transform the Schrödinger PDE describing the wave function Ψ into its square...

Is it true that there is a physico-statistical meaning to the constant π other than circular geometry but the iron guardians of the SE deny it?

We assume that there is a physico-statistical meaning to the constant π other than circular geometry, but the iron guardians of the Schrödinger equation deny this. The iron guardians of the...

Is it possible to calculate finite numerical integration via matrix mechanics?

We assume that it is possible to calculate finite numerical integration via statistical matrix mechanics (a product of the statistical method of Cairo techniques). It is obvious that here it is...

Assuming that the vacuum explodes spontaneously, how is this explosion sustained and amplified?

We assume that the energy in infinite free space (in addition to flammable particles if any) is drawn toward the center of the hottest point, as if to add more fuel to the fire. The Big Bang...

Kraft lignin and MMA(Methyl meth acrylate) free radical polymerization for synthesis of thermoplastics?

I am conducting free radical polymerization using Kraft lignin and MMA, with DMSO serving as the solvent and there is also an initiator. Following the reaction, I obtain a solution, but I am...

Assuming that the central philosophy of the Schrodnger equation is the cat in a box paradox, can this phylosipy be adjusted?

We assume that the cat in a box paradox may allow an additional approach to include multiple cats in the same box. We can now see two seemingly different views, quantum and classical. The...

Is it true that we can completely neglect partial differential equations, the method of separation of variables and FDM techniques?

We assume that this is true when the statistical matrix mechanics of the so-called Cairo techniques are used to replace PDE and its classical mathematical methods of solution. Moreover, the...

Does anyone know what might be causing the smeared bands on my western blot?

I got these smeared bands quite often lately. We typically run the gel at 140V with a 10-12% gel and do a wet transfer at 220 mA for 1.5 hr in cold room. We also noticed some dirty spots/dots (see...

Why is my ASO degraded quickly on agarose gel?

I have been working on Red blood cell-derived extracellular vesicles as Antisense Oligonucleotide (ASO) carriers. We normally run agarose gel to quantify the loading efficiency. I used naked ASO...

Low-yield gel extraction problem?

I am having an issue with my gel image where my PCR product is not appearing very bright on the gel. When I perform gel extraction, the A260/280 purity value is very low. I used the Qiagen gel...

I'm optimizing a tetra-ARMS PCR protocol with amplicon sizes: 165bp, 123bp and 93bp. Why, in the gel, only 165bp is visible while I'm expecting all 3?

It's an end-point PCR protocol. I'm using 1.5% agarose gel with SyBR Safe dye and TBE as a running buffer, visualization on BioRad XR+ system. I was primarily thinking of primer efficiency,...

PCR showing no bands - Master mix and primers didn't mix?

Hello everyone, I performed a PCR yesterday, and the results showed no bands on the gel. Of course, I probably missed some crucial steps, like adding my samples to the PCR strips themselves, for...
