Smile How to get rid of PCR primer dimers

Hi!!
I am going to post some methods of how to get rid of PCR primer dimers as this seems to be a common question.


1) Set the PCR at a different annealing temperature ranging from 60 C to 72 degrees (usually a higher temperature). The best method is to actually use a gradient to assess for the least primer dimers.

2) Also you should try titrating the concentration of Mg2+ from 1.5 to 2.5 mM.

3) Decrease the primer concentration (you may be using too much!).
