Minipreps using the Qiagen kit
Materials required
- Eppendorf tubes
- Pipettes
- Appropriate overnight cultures
- Buffer P1 (In the fridge)
- Buffer P2
- Buffer N3
- Buffer PB
- Buffer EB
- QIAprep spin column
Procedures
- Overnight culture should have been done the day before. Refer to Growing an overnight culture.
- Resuspend pelleted bacterial cells in 250 μl Buffer P1 and transfer to a microcentrifuge tube.
- Add 250 μl Buffer P2 and mix throughly by inverting the tube 4-6 times.
- Add 350 μl Buffer N3 and mix immediately and thoroughly by inverting the tube 4-6 times.
- Centrifuge for 10 minutes at 13,000 rpm in a table-top microcentrifuge.
- Apply the supernatant to the QIAprep spin column by decanting or pipetting.
- Centrifuge for 30-60 seconds. Discard the flow-through.
- Recommended: Wash the QIAprep spin column by adding 0.5 ml Buffer PB and centrifuging for 30-60 seconds. Discard the flow-through.
- Wash QIAprep spin column by adding 0.75 ml Buffer PE and centrifuging for 30-60 seconds.
- Discard the flow-through, and centrifuge for an additional 1 minute to remove residual wash buffer.
- To elute DNA, place the QIAprep column in a clean 1.5 ml microcentrifuge tube. Add 50 μl Buffer EB or water to the center of each QIAprep spin column, let stand for 1 minute, and centrifuge for 1 minute.
