Higher gDNA Concentrations with the Perfect gDNA Blood Mini Kit
by Varying the Final Elution Volume
Laura Pollock and Jennifer Halcomez
Eppendorf 5 Prime, Boulder, Colorado
Introduction
The Eppendorf Perfect gDNA Blood Mini Kit protocol recommends
an elution volume of 200 l for maximum total yield in standard
application. In some instances, the concentration of the resulting gDNA
may be more important than the total yield. Elution volumes of 50 l,
100 l, and 200 l were tested to determine the increase in
concentration, as well as the potential effects on downstream applications.
The kit was tested with blood from three different individuals using three
different preservatives.
Materials
- Perfect gDNA Blood Mini Kit
Required but not supplied:
- Ethanol (95%100%); aerosol barrier pipette tips recommended;
Microcentrifuge; Eppendorf Thermomixer, water bath, or heat block
at 70C
Method
Isolation of gDNA:
- Pipette 20 l reconstituted Proteinase K into a 1.5 ml microcentrifuge
tube. Add 200 l whole blood to the tube. Add 350 l Solution
G1 to the tube containing Proteinase K and blood. Mix by vortexing for
5 seconds.
- Incubate in a Thermomixer at 70C, 900 rpm, for 10 minutes.
- Centrifuge the sample for 3 minutes at 12,000 to 16,000 x g (top speed
in most microcentrifuges) to pellet cell debris. Pour the supernatant
into a fresh microcentrifuge tube.
- Add 200
