2nd MDA amplicons purification using MICROCON kit
Objective
- In order to estimate the DNA concentration of 2nd MDA amplicons. 20uL of 2nd MDA amplicon were purified using MICROCON kit(#YM-100, Millipore) and then measured dsDNA concentration using Nanodrop.
- It is suggesed to purify the MDA amplicon before nanodrop measuring. Otherwise the primer dimmer and salts in MDA amplicon might interfere the real dsDNA concentration.
- Only 20uL 2nd MDA amplicon was purified and measured. Since the purification of whole 2nd MAD amplicon (200uL) is not effective and time consuming.
Samples
- 200uL of 2nd MDA amplicons from:
- 2ndMDA-L4N9(8hr), 2ndMDA-L4N9(4hr), 2ndMDA-L4N8(6hr), 2ndMDA-L4N8(4hr), 2ndMDA-L4N7(6hr), 2ndMDA-L4N7(4hr), 2ndMDA-N6(6hr) and 2ndMDA-N6(4hr)
Purification
- Assemble the filter
- Transfer 20uL of MDA amplcion into a 1.5-mL tube.
- Add Nuclease-free H2O (Ambion) up to 200uL of total volume. Mix by vortexing for 10 sec and briefly spining down the mixture.
- Transfer the mixture on the filter reservoir.
- Cap the tube and centrifuge at 14,000xg for 12 min.
- Add 20uL Nuclease-free H2O (Ambion) on the filter. Stay the filter for one min in RT. Invert and transfer the filter on a fresh collection tube. Centrifuge at 3000xg for 3 min.
- Estimate the volume of elutant using tips. Nanodrop the dsDNA concentration.

Discussion
- The kit purification protocol is working in this experiment. However, the effect of purification can't be confirmed through these results. More tests on p-pos samples may need to be done.
- A1 - the MDA amplicon from gDNA tamplate covers 4 bands(genes) which can almost serves as a positive control.
