* Wash QIAprep spin column with 750 µl PE buffer, centrifuge and discard the flow-through

Materials
„QIAquick gel extraction“-Kit
Balance
2 ml Eppendorf tubes
Heating block at 50° C
Vortex
3M NaCOOH pH 5.0 (optional)
Isopropanol (optional)
Fragment, isolated from the gel

Procedure

  • For 100 mg gel add 100 µl buffer QG
  • Incubate at 50° C until the gel is completely solved (vortex every 2-3 minutes)
  • The colour of the solution after solving should be yellow (like the colour of QG-buffer)
  • In case of orange or violet colour titrate back to yellow colour with NaCOOH.
  • For fragments smaller than 500bp or bigger than 4kbp add 100 µl isopropanol for each 100 mg gel
  • Apply 750 µl solution to the QIAprep spin column
  • Centrifuge in a table-top microcentrifuge (1 min, 10,000 rpm) and discard the flow through (keep the spin column)
  • Repeat applying of the sample on the same column in case of bigger volumes
  • Wash QIAprep spin column with 750 µl PE buffer, centrifuge and discard the flow-through
  • Centrifuge for an additional 1 min to remove residual wash buffer (important)
  • Place the spin column into a clean 1,5 ml Eppendorf tube
  • Add to the center of each spin column 40 µl ddH20
  • Let stand for 2 minutes (RT)
  • Centrifuge for 1 min and collect the isolated DNA into the Eppendorf tube
