从琼脂糖和丙烯酰胺中纯化DNA

For fragments from 200 bp to 10 kb the agarose purification is ideal. For smaller fragments (20 bp to 400 bp) the acrylamide purification is preferred.

blue tips with melted tips to serve as pestle for crushing acrylamide

Procedure

agarose gels

• Prepare spin columns by cutting off the cap of a 0.5 ml eppendorf tube and forming a hole in the bottom with a hot 18 ga needle. Fill this "mini-column" with a small ball of DMCS treated glass wool and pack down with a pipet tip.

• Cut out the desired band from an agarose gel and place in a spin column inside a 1.5 ml eppendorf tube with the top cut off.

• Spin at 6,000 rpm in a microfuge for 10 minutes.

• Phenol/chloroform extract the flow through and EtOH precipitate with glycogen or tRNA and 10% v/v of 3M NaOAc pH 5.2.

• Wash and dry, resuspend in 20 microliters TE, run 10 microliters on a gel and use 1-2 microliters for a ligation.

acrylamide

• Run a 4-6% acrylamide gel in 1X TBE, stain in EthBr (1-10)

• Crush the acrylamide with a p1000 tip with a melted end to resemble a pestle for the eppendorf "mortar."

• Add 1 ml crush and soak solution and incubate overnight at 37℃.

• Spin in the microfuge for 10 minutes at 14,000 rpm. Remove as much liquid as possible and add another 500 microliters of crush and soak solution.

• Repeat the spin and pool the recovered supernatant.

• Add 0.1 volume of 3M NaOAc, 2.5 volumes of EtOH and carrier (see above).

• Spin as usual, wash and dry. Resuspend in 20 microliters TE.
