PCR product contamination: This is the most common contamination problem in PCR reaction. Because the number of copies of PCR products is much higher than the limit of the number of copies detected by PCR, a very small amount of PCR products will cause false positive results. The most likely form of PCR product pollution is aerosol pollution. Aerosol will be formed when the air rubs against the liquid surface. When the reaction tube is shaken violently during operation, aerosol can be formed when the cover is opened and the sample is sucked, causing pollution. According to the calculation, an aerosol particle can contain 48,000 copies, so the pollution caused by it is a problem that deserves special attention. 4. Contamination of cloned plasmids in laboratories: This problem is also common in molecular biology laboratories and some laboratories where cloned plasmids are used as positive controls, because the content of cloned plasmids in unit volume is quite high, and in addition, more tools and reagents are needed in the purification process. Moreover, plasmids in living cells are likely to cause contamination due to their simplicity of growth and reproduction and their strong vitality.
