Before Starting Introduction Instructions for preparing the PureLink™ buffer solutions for plasmid DNA purification are provided below. Prepare the buffer solutions before beginning the purification. Materials Needed 96% Ethanol Optional: 100% Isopropanol Optional: Water bath (37oC) Preparing Resuspension Buffer with RNase A Prepare the PureLink™ Pro 96 Resuspension Buffer with the PureLink™ Pro 96 RNase A as described below: For 4 × 96 preps 1. Transfer the entire contents of the PureLink™ Pro 96 RNase A bottle into the Resuspension Buffer bottle. Mix thoroughly. 2. Mark the label on the Resuspension Buffer to indicate that RNase A has been added. Store at 4oC. For 24 × 96 preps 1. Add 12 mL of PureLink™ Pro 96 RNase A into each Resuspension Buffer bottle. Mix thoroughly. 2. Mark the labels on the Resuspension Buffer to indicate that RNase A has been added. Store at 4oC. Note: RNase A digestion is performed during sample preparation to degrade RNA present in the sample and to minimize RNA contamination in the purified DNA sample. RNA contamination can inflate the DNA content measured at 260 nm. Lysis Buffer Store the Lysis Buffer at room temperature (≥20oC). The Lysis Buffer contains SDS, which can precipitate out of the buffer if stored below 20oC. If a precipitate is present, incubate the Lysis Buffer in a 37oC water bath for 5 minutes, or until the SDS redissolves and the solution clears. Avoid shaking the Lysis Buffer, as this can lead to foaming. Continued on next page 8
