<b>1. Cell culture</b><br><br>
-
<b>1.Pick a single colony</b> from a freshly streaked selective plate and inoculate a starter

-
culture of 2–5 ml LB medium containing the appropriate selective antibiotic. Incubate
+
-
for approx. 8 h at 37°C with vigorous shaking (approx. 300 rpm).<br>
+
-
Use a tube or flask with a volume of at least 4 times the volume of the culture.<br><br>
+
-
<b>2.Dilute the starter culture</b> 1/500 to 1/1000 into selective LB medium. For high-copy
 
-
plasmids, inoculate 25 ml medium with 25–50 μl of starter culture. For low-copy plasmids, inoculate 100 ml medium with 100–200 μl of starter culture. Grow at 37°C for 12–16 h with vigorous shaking (approx. 300 rpm).<br>
 
-
Use a flask or vessel with a volume of at least 4 times the volume of the culture. The
 
-
culture should reach a cell density of approximately 3–4 x 109 cells per milliliter,
 
-
which typically corresponds to a pellet wet weight of approximately 3 g/liter
 
-
medium.<br><br>
 
-
<b>3. Harvest the bacterial cells</b> by centrifugation at 6000 x g (6900rpm with rotor AV10/Ser N.0106/04/Cat N.11175754 - Centri CR31 Thermo) for 15 min at 4°C.<br>

mixing of the lysis buffers.

appear viscous. Do not allow the lysis reaction to proceed for more than 5 min. After
+
-
use, the bottle containing Buffer P2 should be closed immediately to avoid

-
acidification from CO2 in the air.<br>
+
-
If LyseBlue has been added to Buffer P1 the cell suspension will turn blue after
+
-
addition of Buffer P2. Mixing should result in a homogeneously colored suspension.<br>
+
-
If the suspension contains localized colorless regions or if brownish cell clumps are

still visible, continue mixing the solution until a homogeneously colored suspension

is achieved.<br><br>

-
Precipitation is enhanced by using chilled Buffer P3 and incubating on ice. After
+
-
addition of Buffer P3, a fluffy white material forms and the lysate becomes less
+
-
viscous. The precipitated material contains genomic DNA, proteins, cell debris, and
+
-
KDS. The lysate should be mixed thoroughly to ensure even potassium dodecyl sulfate

precipitation. If the mixture still appears viscous, more mixing is required to

completely neutralize the solution.<br>

-
If LyseBlue reagent has been used, the suspension should be mixed until all trace of

indicates that the SDS has been effectively precipitated.<br><br>

Before loading the centrifuge, the sample should be mixed again. Centrifugation
+
-
should be performed in non-glass tubes (e.g., polypropylene). After centrifugation
+

the supernatant should be clear.<br>
+
-
Note: Instead of centrifugation steps 7 and 8, the lysate can be efficiently cleared by

filtration using a QIAfilter Kits or Cartridges (see www.qiagen.com/products/

plasmid/LargeScaleKits).<br><br>

supernatant containing plasmid DNA promptly.<br>
+
Centrifuge at 11 000 x g for 2 minutes and discard the collection tube.<br><br>
-
This second centrifugation step should be carried out to avoid applying suspended
+
-
or particulate material to the QIAGEN-tip. Suspended material (causing the sample
+
-
to appear turbid) can clog the QIAGEN-tip and reduce or eliminate gravity flow.<br><br>
+
-
<b> 9. Equilibrate a QIAGEN-tip 100 </b>by applying 4 ml Buffer QBT, and allow the column to empty by gravity flow.<br>
+
<b>8. DNA Elution<br></b>
-
Flow of buffer will begin automatically by reduction in surface tension due to the

Measure the concentration with nanodrop, then stock the tubes at -20°C<br>

completely. QIAGEN-tips can be left unattended, since the flow of buffer will stop

-
when the meniscus reaches the upper frit in the column.<br><br>
+
-
 
+
-
<b>10. Apply the supernatant from step 8 to the QIAGEN-tip</b> and allow it to enter the resin
+
-
by gravity flow.<br>
+
-
The supernatant should be loaded onto the QIAGEN-tip promptly. If it is left too long
+
-
and becomes cloudy due to further precipitation of protein, it must be centrifuged
+
-
again or filtered before loading to prevent clogging of the QIAGEN-tip.<br><br>
+
-
 
+
-
<b>11. Wash the QIAGEN-tip </b>with 2 x 10 ml Buffer QC.<br>
+
-
Allow Buffer QC to move through the QIAGEN-tip by gravity flow. The first wash is
+
-
sufficient to remove all contaminants in the majority of plasmid DNA preparations.
+
-
The second wash is especially necessary when large culture volumes or bacterial
+
-
strains producing large amounts of carbohydrates are used.<br><br>
+
-
 
+
-
<b>12. Elute DNA with 5 ml Buffer QF.</b><br>
+
-
Collect the eluate in a 15 ml or 50 ml tube (not supplied). Use of polycarbonate

-
centrifuge tubes is not recommended as polycarbonate is not resistant to the alcohol

-
used in subsequent steps.<br><br>
+
-
 
+
-
<b>13. Precipitate DNA</b> by adding 3.5 ml (0.7 volume) room-temperature

-
isopropanol to the eluted DNA. Mix and centrifuge immediately at ≥15,000 x g for
+
-
30 min at 4°C. Carefully decant the supernatant.<br>
+
-
All solutions should be at room temperature in order to minimize salt precipitation,
+
-
although centrifugation is carried out at 4°C to prevent overheating of the sample.<br>
+
-
Alternatively, disposable conical bottom centrifuge tubes can be used for
+
-
centrifugation at 5000 x g (10000rpm with rotor AV10/Ser N.0106/04/Cat N.11175754 - Centri CR31 Thermo)for 60 min at 4°C. Isopropanol pellets have a glassy
+
-
appearance and may be more difficult to see than the fluffy, salt-containing pellets
+
-
that result from ethanol precipitation. Marking the outside of the tube before
+
-
centrifugation allows the pellet to be more easily located. Isopropanol pellets are also
+
-
more loosely attached to the side of the tube, and care should be taken when
+
-
removing the supernatant.<br><br>
+
-
 
+
-
<b>14. Wash DNA pellet</b> with 2 ml of room-temperature 70% ethanol, and
+
-
centrifuge at ≥15,000 x g (10000rpm with rotor AV10/Ser N.0106/04/Cat N.11175754 - Centri CR31 Thermo)for 10 min. Carefully decant the supernatant without
+
-
disturbing the pellet.<br>
+
-
The 70% ethanol removes precipitated
+
-
salt and replaces isopropanol with the more volatile ethanol, making the DNA easier
+
-
to redissolve.<br><br>
+
-
 
+
-
<b>15. Air-dry the pellet</b> for 5–10 min, and redissolve the DNA in a suitable volume of buffer
+
-
(e.g., TE buffer, pH 8.0, or 10 mM Tris·Cl, pH 8.5).<br>
+
-
Redissolve the DNA pellet by rinsing the walls to recover all the DNA, especially if
+
-
glass tubes have been used. Pipetting the DNA up and down to promote
+
-
resuspension may cause shearing and should be avoided. Overdrying the pellet will
+
-
make the DNA difficult to redissolve. DNA dissolves best under slightly alkaline
+
-
conditions; it does not easily dissolve in acidic buffers.<br><br>
