Mix master mix including everything except the template. Pipet into each well, then add the template cDNA or mRNA. All procedures are on ice. The plate is on a cooler plate holder. My lab also uses a automatic repeater Eppendorf Stream for the addtion. Also, when is last time your get your pipetor a calibration?

Palmface! There are two kinds of off calibration. One is the measurement is off. The other is inconsistancy from one additon to another. The bubble can be eliminated becuase you should spin down the plate before the run. Although, the uneven heating is also very likely, then it will be semi- costly to repair. Btw, does your instrument require an internal standard or not (i.e. ROX dye etc.)?

Our lab uses 23 uL of master mix per well then adds 2 uL of 50 ng of mRNA. To eliminate bubbles, you have to spin your plate before putting it into the instruments. Wait, so your three replicates are from the same master mix with templates in them i.e. you just add exactly the same solution to 3 different wells? You should have minimum errors. In this case, it could be your instrument.

If I remeber correctly, it is 200nM for primers. However, if everyone in your lab does not have your problem...I hate to say it, it is YOU. I have meet people can not use pipettor properly before.
Can you give me a link for automatic repeater Eppendorf Stream? Thanks

如果仪器老,就是仪器问题。 如果是新仪器,就要改善加法了。

Thanks for your helpful info. I just realized that our lab has several Eppendorf repeaters. I could just buy some combitips to add master mix.
