(1) Pick a single colony from a selective plate and inoculate a culture of 5mL LB medium and incubate until OD600 reaches 0.6 at 37℃ with vigorous shaking.
(2) Harvest the bacteria cells by centrifuge at 12000rpm in 1.5mL microcentrifuge and lyse them by repeatedly inhaling and emitting with a pipette in Buffer RL.
(3) Add 0.2mL chloroform every 1mL RL. Shake violently for 15sec and incubate at room temperature for 3min.
(4) Centrifuge at 12000rpm at 4℃ for 10min. The sample will separate into three layers, the bottom layer is the organic layer, the middle and the top layer are colorless water layers, and RNA persists in the water layers. (The volume of the water layers is approximately 60% of the added RL.) Apply the water layers to a new tube.
(5) Add a volume of 70% ethanol (check if anhydrous ethanol is added) to a volume of the solution from last step and mix thoroughly by inverting. There is possibly some precipitation after this step. Apply the solution the possible precipitation to the column RA.
(7) Centrifuge at 10000 rpm for 45s and discard the flow-through.
(8) Add 500μL Buffer RE. Centrifuge at 12000rpm for 60s and discard the flow-through.

(10) Add 500μL Buffer RW. Centrifuge at 12000rpm for 60s and discard the flow-through.
(11) Centrifuge at 12000rpm for 2min and discard the flow-through.
(12) Place the column in a new clean 1.5mL microcentrifuge tube and add 50-80μL ddH2O (better preheated at 65℃) to the center of the column. Stand at room temperature for 2min. Centrifuge at 12000rpm for 1min.
