DNA purification and precipitation

・Mix 350 µL of sterilized water and 50 µL of 3 M sodium acetate with DNA sample.

・Mix DNA solution with equal volume of phenol/chloroform by vortex.

・Centrifuge at 13,000 rpm for 5 min, then transfer the supernatant into a new tube.

・Add equal volume of 2-propanol, and mix by turning the tube upside down.

・Centrifuge at 14,500 rpm for 10 min at 4˚C.

・Carefully decant the supernatant.

・Add adequate volume of 70 % ethanol.

・Centrifuge at 14,500 rpm for 5 min at 4˚C.

・Carefully decant the supernatant.

・Dry in the desiccator under vacuum for 5 min.

・You can get dried DNA pellet.
