We discussed various assay attributes in class which provide insight into the effectiveness or suitability of a given analytical method. As part of assay development, various attributes were investigated. For each description below, indicate which assay attribute was being evaluated (partial list of attributes include precision, accuracy, specificity, linearity, LOQ/LOD, etc.). The impact of assay temperature and pH on assay results were evaluated to find a suitable range of conditions for the activity assay. Various known concentrations of standard α-AM solutions were evaluated, and the proportionality of the responses were determined. A reference standard of known α-AM (alpha-amylase) concentration was evaluated in triplicate to determine the variability (or scatter) of repeat measurements. Spiked standard of known specific activity and purity was spiked into a sample and the ability for the assay to measure the true biological activity was determined. The impact of various extract…

What would happen if you did not use a chelating agent such as the InstaGene matrix? What is needed from the cells for PCR? What structures must be broken to release the DNA from a cell?
All of the following are performed during restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. 1. splitting of double-stranded into single-stranded DNA 2. gel electrophoresis 3. autoradiography 4. immersion in radioactive probes 5. digestion of DNA with restriction endonucleases 6. use of a positive charge to transfer single-stranded DNA from a gel to a membrane. The correct sequence of these operations is what
Please DESCRIBE, in outline form, the method you will use to select for bacterial cells that have taken up the pL311 plasmid, and to screen those cells for the presence of plasmids that are likely to contain a cloned gene. Be sure to mention the specific media you will use. In addition, please explain the rationale behind this specific selection and screening procedure. (Remember that you have available the following types of media: (i) media containing neither kanamycin nor X-gal, (ii) media containing BOTH kanamycin and X-gal, (iii) media containing tetracycline, and (iv) media containing ampicillin.
Which of the following are true regarding assay attributes? List all that are true. a) Accuracy represents the closeness of the assay result to the “true value”. b) Robustness represents the ability of a method to distinguish between the analyte and similar components. c) Precision is determined by replicate analysis of a reference standard or well-characterized material. d) A robust assay would have a very narrow range of acceptable assay conditions. For those that were not true in question 1, correct the statement(s).
Genomic DNA from one of the seven neomycin resistant clones, AB1, that produced a PCR product with primers A/B was further examined by PCR alongside genomic DNA from neomycin resistant fibroblasts that did not generate a PCR product with primers A and B and untransformed porcine fibroblast cells.

A plaque assay is performed beginning with 1 mL of a solution containing bacteriophages. This solution is serially diluted three times by combining 0.1 mL of each sequential dilution with 9.9 mL of liquid medium. Then 0.1 mL of the final dilution is plated in the plaque assay and yields 17 plaques. What is the initial density of bacteriophages in the original 1 mL?
What are DNA probes Describe three (3) methods that can be used to label DNA probes Describe 2 methods for detection of the hybridized probe List the advantages of using non-radioactively labeled probes vs radioactively labeled probes.
Currently I am working with qPCR quantification specific for Lactobacillus bacteria. I found in some cases, the sample showing multiple peaks of melting curves while others looks perfect, so do the amplification plot duplication. Any one have an opinion about this issues? Does it caused by sample DNA quality, the omount of the bacteria detected, or primers problem? I am condisering that this condition reflecting the low abundance of the specific bacteria inside its sample.
Some compounds are “frequent hitters" or pan-assay interferences (PAINS). Does having a really robust assay with Z' approaching 1 help to avoid PAINS? Explain.
A plaque assay is performed beginning with 1 mL of a solution containing bacteriophages. This solution is serially diluted 4 times by combining 0.1 mL of each sequential dilution with 9.9 mL of liquid medium. Then 0.1 mL of the final dilution is plated in the plaque assay and yields 21 plaques. What is the initial density of bacteriophages in the original 1 mL? Recall that initial phage density = (plaque number/mL) ×× (dilution factor).
