Miniprep Procedure:
Small-Scale Plasmid Preparation
- Put 1.5 mL O/N into a 1.5 mL Eppendorf tube.
- Centrifuge for 1 minute.
- Aspirate the supernatant.
- In order to increase the concentration of DNA, add the rest of the o/n into the same tube and centrifuge for 1 minute again.
- Aspirate the supernatant and resuspend cells with 250 μL Resuspension Solution (red). Vortex until pellet dissolves.
- Add 250 μL Lysis Solution and mix with pipette. (shake with hand)
- Sit for 3-5 minutes.
- Add 350 μL Neutralization Solution (blue) and invert tube with hand 4-6 times.
- Centrifuge for 5 minutes.
- Pour supernatant in a column tube.
- Centrifuge for 1 minute and throw away supernatant.
- Add 500 μL Wash Solution.
- Centrifuge for 1 minute and throw away supernatant.
- Add 500 μL Wash Solution.
- Centrifuge for 1 minute and throw away supernatant.
- Put blue column in a fresh centrifuge tube. (make sure to label)
- Add 50 μL Elution Buffer.
- Incubate for 2 minutes at room temperature, then centrifuge for 2 minutes.
- Throw away blue column.
- Place plasmid into the freezer.
