I did two PCRs
One band was very, very faint while the other was very strong.
Both were made from one master mix (without primers)
Both used the same template (bacterial gDNA)
Both were put in the same thermocycler
Both were the same size product.
Both used primers designed by the same software with the same settings.
Both had the same volumes loaded on the gel.
Neither reaction had nonspecific bands or primer dimers.
Why was this one band so faint? I can't think of any reason...
