Details

Modified version of the capillary convective tube isothermal heater heater by Chou et al. 2011. As heating system a conventional block heat was used. On the top of the heating block, we placed for the uptake of the capillaries an aluminum block (8 mm height) in which four holes (3.2 mm diameter and 3.0 mm depth with round shaped bottom) were drilled. The capillaries are regular 100 micro L Roche LightCycler(R). These glass capillaries have a round shaped closed bottom (2.3 mm inner diameter and 3.2 mm outer diameter). An "ESE-Log" detector (QIAGEN Lake Constance) was used for the real time fluorescent measurements, which was mounted in a distance of 5-10 mm next to the capillary. The PCR was performed with SYBR(R) Green fluorescent intercalating dye. Thereof the ESE-Log has in one channel the excitation at 470 nm and the detection at 520 nm. The data was recorded by the FL Digital Software (QIAGEN Lake Constance) and the exported text based raw data.
