Is it possible to withdraw an aliquot of the LightCycler® sample for further gelelectrophoretic post-PCR analysis?
Yes. The capillaries have to be carefully opened, put upside down in a conventional 1.5 ml reaction tube and centrifuged briefly at 2.000 rpm.
Please note that a gel electrophoresis analysis should be performed in a separate room to avoid contamination by the amplicon
