Lab Protocols
Please enter sub title1. LB agar plate

Procedure
- Add 25g LB broth and 15g agar into 1L DDW.
- Autoclave
2. Genomic DNA Purification
Materials
Procedure
1) Pellet Cells
- Add 1ml of an overnight culture to a 1.5ml microcentrifuge tube.
- Centrifuge at 13000 rpm for 2.5minutes to pellet the cells.
- Remove the supernatant.
2) Lyse Cells
- Add 1ml of an overnight culture to a 1.5ml microcentrifuge tube.
- Centrifuge at 13000 rpm for 2.5minutes to pellet the cells.
- Remove the supernatant.
3) Protein Precipitation
- Add 200ul of Protein Precipitation Solution to the RNase-treated cell lysate. Vortex vigorously at high speed for 20seconds to mix the Protein Precipitation Solution tieh the cell lysate.
- Incubate the sample on ice for 5minutes.
- Centrifuge at 13,000rpm 3minutes.
- Transfer the supernatant containing the DNA to a clean 1.5ml microcentrifuge tube. Note: Some supernatant may remain in the original tube containing the protein pellet. Leave this residual liquid in the tube to avoid contaminating the DNA solution with the precipitated protein.
- Add 600ul isopropanol.
- Gently mix by inversion until the thread-like strands of DNA form a visible mass.
- Centrifuge at 13000rpm for 2minutes.
- Carefully pour off the supernatant.
- Add 600ul of room temperature 70% ethanol and gently invert the tube 5 times to wash the DNA pellet.
- Centrifuge at 13000rpm for 2minutes. Carefully aspirate the ethanol.
- Drain the tube on clean absorbent paper and allow the pellet to air-dry for 10-14minutes.
- Add 50~100 μl TE buffer and rehydrate the DNA by incubating at 65℃ for 20min. Periodically mix the solution by gently tapping the tube. Alternatively, rehydrate the DNA by incubationg the solution overnight at room temperature or at 4℃.
3. Vector transformation
Procedure
1) Restriction enzyme digestion

5. Gel extraction
Materials
- MGTM Gel Extraction SV - Macrogen
Procedure
- Excise the DNA band of interest using an ethanol-cleaned razor blade.
- Weigh the gel slice in a microcentrifuge tube. Add 3 volumes (ul) of Buffer GB to 1 volume (mg) of gel.
- Incubate at 50°C until the agarose gel is completely melted (5 ~ 10 min).
- Transfer the mixture to a MGTM SV column. Centrifuge for 1 min. Discard the pass-through and re-insert the MGTM SV column into the Collection Tube.
- Add 700 ul of Buffer NW to the MGTM SV column. Centrifuge for 30 sec. Discard the pass-through. Reinsert the MGTM SV column into the Collection Tube.
- Centrifuge for additional 1 min to remove residual wash buffer. Transfer the MGTM SV column to a new 1.5 ml tube.
- Apply 30ul of Buffer EB to the center of the membrane in the MGTM SV column, let stand for 1 min, and centrifuge for 1 min.
6. PCR purification
Materials

Procedure
- Add 5 volumes of PB Buffer to 1 volume of the PCR reaction.
- Apply the sample to the Binding column tube to bind DNA.
- Centrifuge for 30-60 sec to make the sample pass through the Binding column tube.
- Discard flow-through and place the Binding column tube in the same tube.
- Add 500μl of WB Buffer to the Binding column tube and centrifuge for 30-60 sec to wash.
- Discard flow-through and place the Binding column tube in the same tube again.
- Centrifuge the Binding column tube for an additional 1min for drying.
- Place the Binding column tube in a clean 1.5 ml tube.
