Summary

Erratum: Larval RNA Interference in the Red Flour Beetle, Tribolium castaneum

Published: October 01, 2015

Abstract

An erratum was issued for Larval RNA Interference in the Red Flour Beetle, Tribolium castaneum. There was a typo in the settings for Sutter P-87 in step 4.1.

Protocol

An erratum was issued for Larval RNA Interference in the Red Flour Beetle, Tribolium castaneum. There was a typo in the settings for Sutter P-87 in step 4.1.

Step 4.1 was updated from:

Pull borosilicate glass needles (B100-50-15, O.D.: 1 mm, I.D.: 0.5 mm, 15 cm length) by a needle puller.
NOTE: For Sutter P-87 or P-97, use the setting “Heat = 70, Pull = 45, Vel = 75, Time = 90” or follow Chapter 2 of the Pipette Cookbook: Adherent Cell, C. elegans, Drosophila, & Zebrafish– Recommended Programs. The optimal settings vary depending on the model of the needle puller. The setting for a generic Drosophila injection needle is a good starting point.
