I have been trying to standardize the annealing temperature for my new primer set but unfortunately, I am not getting any band in gel except primer dimer.
The Tm for my primer is a little bit high (64 and 60 excluding RE site). Though the nucleotide length of my primer is 32 and 39 respectively.
My primer has high GC content so I tried the Phusion Tech Poly (thermoFisher) along with GC buffer plus DMSO as well, but still, I did not see any band in the gel.
My cDNA purity is good (260/280= 1.8), I also checked the cDNA quality by running GAPDH PCR and I got a prominent band from two different set of cDNA.
I am using 3% DMSO and 0.5 uM conc of Primer. I also tried the two-step PCR protocol as well but still no band.
Please help me out.
Thanks in advance.
