gel size selection protocol
- cut band from gel, extract DNA for downstream analyses/applications
- 1. run gel as normal PAGE gel protocol. 2-3 ug DNA per well if using the big wells (4-wells per plate). usually 2 wells per 25 uL PCR reaction when using the 5 well gel. <1 ug per well when using the smaller wells. with 1 mm gel
Notes: rinse gel holders with clean TE before use 6X dye (5 uL for 25 uL sample) dilute with TE if needed normal for ladder use clean pipet box top to hold gel/solution for SYBR gold (2 uL) staining, and clean TE buffer put on shaker for 3-4 minutes
- 2. poke hole into .5 mL tube with 22 gauge needle, put into 1.5 mL tube. (cut band goes into .5 mL tube)
- 3. cut out band in dark room, use new scalpel for each sample. put syran wrap over UV box, then put gel on top. don't expose to UV for to long. wear glasses. use shield. place gel into .5 mL tube prepared above.
- 4. centrifuge (.5 mL tube in 1.5 mL tube) for 3 minutes at 15k RPM. (gel sheared)
- 5. discard .5 mL tube. add 450 uL 1X TE to 1.5 mL tube.
- 6. Shake at 37C for 45 minutes.
- 7. centrifuge at 13k RPM for 1 minute. pipet supernatent into blue filter column (nanosep MF .2 uM filter tubes).
- 8. centrifuge blue filter tube at 13K RPM for 1 minute. pipet rest of gel pieces into blue filter tube.
- 9. centrifuge at 13K RPM for 1 minute.
- 10. add 2.5 volumes 100% EtOH, .1 volumes 3M NaoAc, and 1/300 volumnes glycol-blue to solution obtained.
In this case: 1 ml 100% EtOH 40 uL NaOAc 1.3 uL glycolblue
- 11. Switch solution to round bottom 1.5 mL tube. invert tube to mix.
- 12. put into -80C for 15 minutes. cool centrifuge to 4C.
- 13. centrifuge at 4C for 20 minutes at 5K RPM (4500RCF, max speed). chill 75% EtOH.
- 14. blue pellet should be visible. discard supernatant.
- 15. add 700 uL of ice-cold 75% EtOH. Invert tube 4-5 times.
- 16. Centrifuge at 14K RPM for 5 minutes at RT.
- 17. discard supernatent, pipet out EtOH with gel tips, invert tube on kimwipes, dry pellet for 5 minutes.
- 18. add 15 uL nuclease free H2O to pellet, pipet up and down to resuspend.
store in 4C can quantitate in PAGE gel.
