siRNA / miRNA gene silencing Human Melanoma cells (501 Mel and SK Mel 28)

A PCR reaction consists of the template DNA, two primers covering the amplification site, an enzyme, and buffers. The resulting amplicons are generally detected by gel electrophoresis and for some further applications like cloning, sequencing, amplicon product needs to be recovered from the gel and subsequently purified. However, non-specific product amplification and primer-dimer formation during set-up make gel extraction difficult. Nevertheless, high-quality DNA polymerase and optimize reaction buffers will certainly lead to a successful PCR reaction.

Hello! I used Trizol to extract total RNA from in-vitro cultured bacteria (1 X 10^8 cells). After phase separation, I mixed ~0.4 ml of the upper phase which contains RNA with 0.5 mL cold isopropanol. However, the amount of RNA when measured in Nanodrop was very low. In addition, the ratio between 260 and 230 was around 0.1 to 0.5. Is there a chance that my sample was contaminated by the Trizol reagent? When I collected the aqueous phase I made sure to not touch the lower phase. What should I do?
