Plasmid Prep
- Centrifuge @13,200 rpm for 10 min of 1.8mL of overnight cultures in 2mL Eppendorf’s
- Discard supernatant and add 1.9 mL of culture and centrifuge again @13,200 rpm for 10 min
- Re-suspend pelleted cells in P1 Buffer (250µl)
- Add 250µL of P2 buffer & invert 4-6 times (turns homogenous blue)
- Add 350µL of N3 & mix by inverting (turns colourless)
- Centrifuge @ 10min 13,000 rpm to obtain a pellet
- Transfer supernatant in QIA Prep Spin Column by pipetting
- Centrifuge 30-60 sec - discard flow through
- Wash QIA Prep Spin Column with 0.5mL of PB
- Centrifuge for 30-60 seconds - discard flow through
- Wash spin column by adding 0.75 mL PE buffer
- Centrifuge for 30-60 seconds - discard flow through and centrifuge for a further 1min
- Place QIAPrep Column in clean Eppendorf
- Elute DNA add 50µl of water, stand for 1min, centrifuge for 1min
- QIA prep - Spin miniprep buffer
