Procedure:
 
-
 
-
 
-
1.Pellet 1–5 ml bacterial overnight culture by centrifugation at >8000 rpm
 
-
 
-
(6800 x g) for 3 min at room temperature (15–25°C).
 
-
 
-
 
-
2.Resuspend pelleted bacterial cells in 250 ␣l Buffer P1 and transfer to a microcentrifuge tube.
 
-
 
-
 
-
3.Add 250 ␣l Buffer P2 and mix thoroughly by inverting the tube 4–6 times until the solution becomes clear. Do not allow the lysis reaction to proceed for more than 5 min. If using LyseBlue reagent, the solution will turn blue.
 
-
 
-
 
-
4.Add 350 ␣l Buffer N3 and mix immediately and thoroughly by inverting the tube 4–6 times. If using LyseBlue reagent, the solution will turn colorless.
 
-
 
-
 
-
5.Centrifuge for 10 min at 13,000 rpm (~17,900 x g) in a table-top microcentrifuge.
 
-
 
-
6.Apply the supernatant from step 5 to the QIAprep spin column by decanting or pipetting.␣Centrifuge for 30–60 s and discard the flow-through, or␣apply vacuum to the manifold to draw the solution through the QIAprep spin column and switch off the vacuum source.
 
-
 
-
 
-
7.Recommended: Wash the QIAprep spin column by adding 0.5 ml Buffer PB. ␣Centrifuge for 30–60 s and discard the flow-through, or␣apply vacuum to the manifold to draw the solution through the QIAprep spin column and switch off the vacuum source.
 
-
 
-
Note: This step is only required when using endA+ strains or other bacteria strains with high nuclease activity or carbohydrate content.
 
-
 
-
 
-
8.Wash the QIAprep spin column by adding 0.75 ml Buffer PE. ␣Centrifuge for 30–60 s and discard the flow-through, or␣apply vacuum to the manifold to draw the solution through the QIAprep spin column and switch off the vacuum source. Transfer the QIAprep spin column to the collection tube.
 
-
 
-
 
-
9.Centrifuge for 1 min to remove residual wash buffer.
 
-
 
-
 
-
10.Place the QIAprep column in a clean 1.5 ml microcentrifuge tube. To elute DNA, add 50 ␣l Buffer EB (10 mM Tris·Cl, pH 8.5) or water to the center of the QIAprep spin column, let stand for 1 min, and centrifuge for 1 min.
