#8198 How to get rid of PCR primer dimer

Posted tfitzwater on 26 October 2004 - 03:45 PM

Dimers tend to form when the template concentration is low.  If you can, try titrating in more of the template.

Adding yeast tRNA carrier can reduce the amount of template that sticks to the tube walls, making more of it available for amplification.  

When designing your primers, check them for homo-dimer and hetero-dimer formation with the Oligo Analyzer program at the IDT website www.idtdna.com.
