PCR DNA Clean-up Kit

PCR DNA Clean-up Kit

IBI MIDI I-Blue Plasmid Sample 

The RNase-Free DNase I set ensures complete DNA removal from RNA extracted using IBI's RNA extraction kits for use in DNA sensitive downstream applications. This is an optional treatment as IBI's spin column technology yields RNA with the majority of DNA removed. Without using DNase treatment the extracted RNA can be used in downstream applications which are not DNA sensitive. This set can be used for both in column DNase digestion and DNase digestion in solution.

• Yield: Up to 5 µg of gDNA from fresh whole blood samples
• Format: genomic DNA spin column
• Operation Time: Within 20 minutes
• Elution Volume: 30-100 µL
• Kit Storage: Dry at room temperature (15-25°C) for up to 1 year

Introduction
The gMax Mini Kit is optimized for genomic, mitochondrial and virus DNA purification from whole blood (fresh blood and frozen blood), tissue, formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue (FFPE), amniotic fluid and insects in one convenient kit. This DNA extraction kit uses Proteinase K and chaotropic salt to lyse cells and degrade protein, allowing DNA to bind to the glass fiber matrix of the spin column. Contaminants are removed using a Wash Buffer and the purified genomic DNA is eluted by a low salt Elution Buffer, TE or water. The entire procedure can be completed within 20 minutes without phenol/chloroform extraction or alcohol precipitation. The purified DNA (approximately 20-30 kb) is suitable for use in PCR or other enzymatic reactions.

Quality Control
The quality of the gMax Mini Kit is tested on a lot-to-lot basis by isolating genomic DNA from 200 μL of whole human blood. The purified DNA (5 μg with an A260/A280 ratio of 1.8-2.0) is quantified with a spectrophotometer and analyzed by electrophoresis.

Kit Components

*Add absolute ethanol (see the bottle label for volume) to Wash Buffer then mix by shaking for a few seconds. Check the box on the bottle. Be sure and close the bottle tightly after each use to avoid ethanol evaporation.

**Add ddH2O to Proteinase K (see the bottle label for volume) then vortex to ensure Proteinase K is completely dissolved. Check the box on the bottle. Once it is dissolved completely, centrifuge for a few seconds to spin the mixture down. For extended periods, the ddH2O and Proteinase K mixture should be stored at 4°C.

• Sample: Gram (+) positive and Gram (-) negative bacterial cells
• Yield: Up to 30 µg of gDNA - (1 x 10 Escherichia coli: 25-30 µg, 1 x 10 Bacillus subtilis: 10-15 µg)
• Convenient: Includes Gram+ Buffer for preparing lysozyme solutions and to speed up sample preparation
• Format: Genomic DNA spin columns
• Operation Time: within 30 minutes
• Elution Volume: 50-200 µL
• Kit Storage: Dry at room temperature (15-25°C) for up to 1 year

The gBAC Mini DNA Bacteria Kit is optimized for genomic and viral DNA purification from Gram (-) negative and Gram (+) positive bacterial cells. Gram+ Buffer, when combined with lysozyme, will efficiently lyse bacterial cell walls consisting of the peptidoglycan layer. Chaotropic salt is used to further lyse cells and degrade protein, allowing DNA to easily bind to the glass fiber matrix of the spin column. Contaminants are removed using a Wash Buffer (containing ethanol) and the purified genomic DNA is eluted by a low salt Elution Buffer, TE or water. Phenol/chloroform extraction or alcohol precipitation is not required and the purified genomic DNA is ready for use in a variety of downstream applications.

Quality Control
The quality of the gBAC Mini DNA Bacteria Kit is tested on a lot-to-lot basis by isolating DNA from Escherichia coli (1x10) culture (OD600=1.3, 1 mL) harvested by centrifugation at 16,000 x g for 1 minute. 10 µL from a 50 µL eluate of purified DNA is analyzed by electrophoresis on a 1% agarose gel.

*Add lysozyme to Gram+ Buffer immediately prior to use. Once lysozyme is mixed with Gram+ Buffer, the solution can be stored for 2 weeks at 4°C.

**Add absolute ethanol (see the bottle label for volume) to Wash Buffer then mix by shaking for a few seconds. Check the box on the bottle. Be sure and close the bottle tightly after each use to avoid ethanol evaporation.

IBI Gel/PCR Fragment Extraction Kits

The Large DNA Fragments Extraction Kit was designed to recover or concentrate DNA fragments (> 8 Kb) from agarose gel in 4 easy steps. Salts and enzymes can be effectively removed from the reaction mixture without phenol extraction. Typically, recoveries are up to 85% for Gel Extraction. The entire procedure can be completed in 45 minutes and the DNA is ready for use in PCR, Fluorescent or Radioactive Sequencing, Restriction Enzyme Digestion, DNA Labeling and Ligation.

Efficient Gel Extraction and PCR Clean-up

The Gel/PCR DNA Fragments Extraction Kits are designed to recover or concentrate DNA fragments (50bp-10kb) from agarose gel, PCR reaction, or any other enzymatic reaction. This method uses a chaotropic salt and guanidine thiocyanate to dissolve the agarose gel and denature the enzymes. The DNA fragments in the chaotropic salt are bound to the glass-fiber matrix of the spin column. After washing off the contaminants, the purified DNA fragments are eluted by low salt elution buffer or water. Salts, enzymes, and unincorporated nucleotides can be effectively removed from the reaction mixture without phenol extraction or alcohol precipitation.
