Experiment 12: Optimisation of blocking and first use of PDMS spotting templates

2015.05.28

considerations

  • Try new washing and blocking step. Also use PDMS spotting mask for the first time.

Experiment/Protocol

  • Made 8 APTES/PDITC slides using standard APTES + PDITC surface
  • Use of 4 GOPTS slides from 26.5.2015 to test binding with reduced reaction agressivity of stored GOPTS-slides
  • Spotted 4 GOPTS and 4 APTES/PDITC slides as in Spotting+Blocking
    • one GOPTS and APTES/PDITC slide each was spotted using the PDMS spotting help
    • one GOPTS and APTES/PDITC slide each was incubated over night with GFP

Results

Mean GFP fluorescence intensity of different concentrated spots on GOPTS and APTES/PDITC surfaces
  • Fluorescence intensity on PDITC highest at 500 µg/ml GFP
  • Fluorescence intensity on GOPTS highest at 1680 µg/ml GFP
  • Fluorescence intensity for overnight incubation slightly higher
Mean GFP fluorescence intensity of different concentrated spots on GOPTS surfaces with shutterspeed of 1s and normalised shutterspeed of 4s
  • Intensity values should not differ but they do→ further investigate
Influence of PDMS spotting help on mean GFP fluorescence spot intensity on GOPTS and APTES/PDITC surfaces
  • PDMS spotting help useful on PDITC

Experiment 11: First fluorescence intensity/shutterspeed linearity test

2015.05.26

  • spotted a drop of undiluted GFP on a normal glass slide
  • measured fluorescence intensity with fluorescence microscope with varying shutterspeed

Results

Fluorescence Intensities measured with varying shutterspeed


Experiment 10: GOPTS slides for storage

2015.05.26

considerations

GOPTS-surface may be to agressive for GFP → storage of activated slides may reduce agressivity and allow binding of active GFP

Experiment/Protocol

  • Made 8 slides using standard GOPTS-Protocol
  • stored slides in slideholder at 4°C

Experiment 9: GFP on activated slides (VWR Slides)

2015.05.25

considerations

Because diamond writer is still defect and using scissors isn't that efficient slides weren't labeled this time. Processing took place in different petri dishes taht were labeled on the top to avoid confusion.

The same conditions as in Experiment 8 were used, but slides from VWR were activated instead of the ROTH slides from AG Roth.

Experiment / Protocol

activation
  • 5 slides were cleaned with acetone, isoprop and water
    • 4 of these slides were activated (→ protocol, 2min, 80 L/h)
    • 1 slide was stored for later use as control
  • of the 4 activated slides:
    • 2 were further processed using GOPTS-Protocol
      • 80 µL GOPTS-Solution, sandwich, 1h, RT
      • incubate 30 sec in acetone
      • wash in acetone
      • blow dry and store at 4°C
    • 2 were coated with APTES + PDITC surface
      • APTES-solution, 30 min, RT
      • 2 x 5 min Acetone
      • blow dry
      • 45 min, 110°C (15 min too long → 60 min)
      • 2h in PDITC solution

Use the mixing vessels provided by AG Roth for APTES- and PDITC-solution!
Afterwards wash with the respective solvent (Acetone in case of APTES and DMF in case of PDITC)

spotting

Spotting according to the following pattern:

Spotting model. green: GFP 500 µg/mL, yellow: GFP 1000 µg/mL, red: GFP 1680 µg/mL, violet: Strep-Cy5 25 µg/mL, blue: BSA 10 mg/mL

Spotted slides were incubated for 1h at RT in dark environment and humid conditions (wet towels).

Detection

Remarks

Use 4 slides per condition next time to have at minimum triplicates for evaluation!

Experiment 8: GFP on activated slides (Roth Slides)

2015.05.24

considerations

Use of short names because diamond writer was defect. Slide naming was changed to increasing indices per operator to avoid the need to look up the numbering every time.

Experiment / Protocol

Slide activation
  • All slides were activated according to protocol
    • Flow: 80 L/h
    • Time: 2 min
  • I and II were activated using the standard GOPTS-Protocol
  • III and IV: Standard APTES + PDITC activation
  • V and VI were first activated, incubated in petri dish and activated again right before spotting
Spotting
  • on each slide from left (side with slide name) to right the following three spot columns were spottet:
    • 1:200 GFP 1,58 mg/mL
    • 1:100
    • 1:50
    • 1:10 (far right, spottet as two sport vertical and one right from the highest)
  • slides were incuzbated in humid condition for 1 h
  • spots were dried on air
  • washed with PBS
  • blown dry
