Methods and Protocols

Project

Miniprep

We used QIAGEN's miniprep reagents and protocol.

1. Pellet cells at 4000 rpm, 4C for 12 minutes
2. Resuspend cells with 200ul buffer P1, transfer to microcentrifuge
3. Add 200 ul lysis buffer P2, cap and shake. Do not allow reaction to continue for more than 5 minutes.
4. Add 300 ul Neutralization buffer N3, cap and shake.
5. Pellet cells at 13000 rpm for 10 minutes with tabletop centrifuge.
6. Apply supernatant to spin column.
7. Centrifuge for 60s. Discard flow through.
8. Add 750 ul wash buffer PE to column.
9. Centrifuge for one minute. Discard flow through.
10. Centrifuge again for one minute to get rid of excess wash buffer.
11. Transfer column to microcentrifuge tube. Add 50 ul elution solution EB to the column, let stand for 1-5 minutes.
12. Centrifuge for 60s. Determine concentration of DNA product and store at -20C
