- | === PCR program design ===
| |
- | # Initial denaturation for 2 minutes at 95⁰C.
| |
- | # Denature for 1 minute at 95⁰C.
| |
- | # Anneal primers for 30 seconds at temperature ~5⁰C below melting temperature of primers.
| |
- | # Extend DNA at 72⁰C using each 1-2 minutes per kilobase of product, depending on polymerase used (see manufacturer’s instructions).
| |
- | # Repeat steps 2-4 for 25-30 cycles.
| |
- | # Final extension for 10 min at 72⁰C
| |

| |
- | === PCR product purification using NucleoSpin ===
| |
- | # Mix 1 volume of sample with 2 volumes of NT buffer in an 1,5 ml Eppendorf tube.
| |
- | # Place a column into a 2 ml collection tube and load the sample.
| |
- | # Centrifuge at 11.000 g for 1 min.
| |
- | # Discard flow through and place the column back into the collection tube.
| |
- | # Add 600 µl NT3 buffer and centrifuge at 11.000 g for 1 min.
| |
- | # Discard flow through and place the column back into the collection tube.
| |
- | # Centrifuge at 11.000 g for 2 min to remove NT3 buffer. Discard flow through.
| |
- | # Place the column into a clean 1,5 ml Eppendorf tube.
| |
- | # Add 30 µl of water or NE buffer and incubate for 1 min to increase the yield of eluted DNA.
| |
- | # Centrifuge at 11.000 g for 1 min.

| |
- | === Plasmid puriification ===
| |
- | This purification is based on the “Zyppy Plasmid Miniprep Kit”
| |
- |
| |
- | Amounts of bacterial culture: According to Zyppy the purification can be done on 600 ul cell culture, but our experience suggests that it is not enough for further processing/use of the DNA. We use 2-4 ml of cell culture.
| |
- |
| |
- | # Initial steps:
| |
- | #* Add 1.5 ml of cell culture in LB medium to 2 ml eppendorf tube.
| |
- | #* Spin at 15.000 g for 2 min.
| |
- | #* Discard supernatant
| |
- | #* Add 1.5 of cell culture (for a total of 3 ml cell culture)
| |
- | #* Spin at 15.000 g for 2 min.
| |
- | #* Remove as much supernatant as possible – pipette carefully. This is (the only) point of no return! To stop, freeze the pellet.
| |
- | #* Add 600 ul of TE-buffer. Ensure that the pellet is completely suspended.
| |
- | # Add 100 ul 7x lysis buffer. Remember not to process more than 10 minipreps at a time.
| |
- | # Add 350 ul cold neutralization buffer. Mix gently and thoroughly (= all the way through ≠ violently)!
| |
- | # Spin at 15.000 g for 5 min.
| |
- | # Transfer the supernatant to the columns; be careful not to get some of the pellet! It’s better to leave some supernatant than to get some of the pellet. Several “lysis” can be poured together to up-concentrate.
| |
- | # Spin at 15.000 g for 30 sec.
| |
- | # Discard flow-through.
| |
- | # Add 200 ul endo-wash-buffer
| |
- | #* Spin at 15.000 g for 30 sec.
| |
- | # Add 400 ul zyppy wash buffer
| |
- | #* Spin at 15.000 g for 30 sec.
| |
- | # Transfer columns to clean 1.5 ml eppendorf tubes. Be careful when removing the tubes, the buffer may not touch the tip of the column! (if it happens, spin again).
| |
- | # Elute DNA in 30-100 ul of buffer of choice (TE/H2O/restriction buffer/Zyppy elution buffer). Add the buffer to the center of the column, but without touching the column material! If H2O, wait 5 min before proceeding to the final centrifugation step, as DNA is not easily suspended in water.
| |
- | # Spin at 15.000 g for 30 sec.
| |
- | # Check the purification by running a gel (at least until we get experienced with a high success rate).
