Experiment 3 : APTES/PDITC slides

2015.03.31

iRIF-slides:BW-A-01-001-[314]
BW-A-01-002-[315]
normale Detektion (strep-cy5):SN-A-01-001
SN-A-01-002
SN-A-01-003
SN-A-01-004
Coomassie-Detektion:SB-A-08-001
SB-A-08-002
SB-A-08-003
SB-A-08-004


Experimental/Protocol:

Protocols for APTES/PDITC-slides and plasma activation (quantities x2 because 10 slides)

  • For SB-A-08-001 and SB-A-08-002 BSA was directly added on the PDITC surface according to the protocol (–> APTES+PDITC+BSA). Slides were then incubated in Coomassie for 30 min and cleaned with water. Slides SB-A-08-003 and SB-A-08-004 were directly incubated in Coomassie for 30 min and cleaned with water. No BSA was added.


2015.04.01

Experimental/Protocol:

  • SN-A-01-001 and SN-A-01-004 were coated/overlayed with 40 µL of Strep-Cy5
  • SN-A-01-002 and SN-A-01-003 formed a Strep-Sandwich (80 µL Strep-Cy5)
  • BW-A-01-001 and BW-A-01-002 were prepared according to the protocol up to the blocking with BSA. Strep-Cy5 was added in the flow cell during iRIF measurement.


Results:

slide results
BW-A-01-001-[314]All 5 spots could be detected but the bBSA-spots had a strong comet tail. This might be due to proteins adhering to the surface during the washing step. The intensity of the bBSA-spots was about 20 000. DNA-spots had an intensity of 2800-4000. The background was about 100.

Remarks

  • After incubation in Strep-Cy5 slides should not be rinsed with water but let slip into a „Kegelvase“ filled with water to prevent comet tails.

Experimental/Protocol:

Protocols for APTES/PDITC and Plasma activation

APTES-solution for 5 slides (V = 20 mL)

acetone18.8 mL
aqua dest.1 mL
APTES0.2 mL

PDITC-solution for 5 slides (V = XX mL)

Pyridine2.0 mL
DMF18.0 mL
PDITC40 mg

DNA-control-solution for 5 slides (10 spots á 0.5 µL, 2 µM)

NaPi-buffer pH 8.3 15 µL
aqua RNAse free9 µL
DNA6 µL
  • On each slide : 2 spots DNA and 3 spots bBSA
  • Incubate overnight

2015.03.26

Experimental/Protocol:

  • Spots on slides SB-01 and SB-03 were dried on air.
  • Spots on slides SB-02 SB-04 and SB-05 were rinsed off with water.
  • For blocking with BSA the Sandwich-technique was used. Slide SB-02 was just ovrlayed with 70 µL BSA (no sandwich).


Results:

slide results
SB-01All 5 spots could be detected but slide has not been washed carefully enough.
SB-02Not beautiful.
SB-032 spots observed
SB-04All 5 spots observed + 2 more above the expected pattern. Spots must have been transferred from one slide to the other during sandwich-time.
SB-055 spots observed. All the bBSA spots had diverged.
Mean intensities of spots and background. Standard deviation is shown as error bars


Remarks

  • Always store APTES with Parafilm
  • Slides with APTES+PDITC can be stored up to 2 or 3 days
  • Spot-technique is used on PDITC-slides because the reaction is slower and homogene (avoids comet tails)

Experimental/Protocol:

Protocols for GOPTS surface, Plasma activation and Protein stamping with PDMS

  • bBSA-solution (50-60 µL) was pipetted on stamps
  • After stamping on slides, both stamps and slides were stored at 4°C


2015.03.25

  • Slides were incubated for 30 min
  • After separation slides were cleaned with aqua dest.
  • Dried with wafergun
  • Slide-sandwiches with 80 µL Streptavidin-Cy5-solution (0.5 µg/mL) per sandwich
  • Incubated in petri dish for 30 min with tissue over petri dish
  • After separtion slides were put into aqua dest.
  • Dried with wafergun
  • Measured with fluorescence scanner

Remarks

  • When incubating the stamps with protein solution, immediately restore unused stamp material in order to protect it from dust!
  • When stamping do not leave the stamp longer than 5-10 s (maximum 30 s) on surface.
  • Weak intensities of fluorescence might be due to slow preparation of slides.


Questions and Tasks

  • Be faster during cleaning processes!
