BcMag™ One-Step DNA & RNA Cleanup Kit provides one-step removal of impurity by negative chromatography from pre-purified samples of DNA/RNA. The impurity includes DNA/RNA polymerases, modifying enzymes, restriction endonucleases, ligases, kinases, nucleases, phosphatases, protein, most of the detergent, most of the fluorescent or no fluorescent dyes, divalent cations such as Ca2+, Mg2+, excess primer, dimer, adapter, DNA/RNA fragments (<100- mer ssDNA), free dNTPs/NTPs and as well as and their analogs including radiolabeled, biotinylated and fluorescent derivatives.

The protocol is straightforward: one tube, one step, and one minute. Added magnetic beads directly to the pre-purified DNA/RNA samples and vortex or pipette to capture and remove the impurities. After vortexing/pipetting, the beads are captured by a magnetic Rack, while the supernatant contains the purified and ready-to-run products. The beads are suitable for DNA/RNA fragments, plasmid DNA and genomic DNA.

B. Procedure

! Important !

●

The following protocol is optimized for the efficient cleanup of 10µl DNA sample. The procedure may need to be optimized if an alternative reaction scale is used.

●

Shake or vortex the bottle to completely resuspend the magnetic beads before using.

●

Do not allow the magnetic beads to sit for more than two minutes before dispensing.

●

Based on applications, the user should choose buffer conditions based on table 1. For example, if the sample does not contain detergent, add 1 μL of 1% Triton™ X-100 solution to a 10 μL sample (final concentration is 0.1%).

●

Quantification of the nucleic acids: Use only fluorescence methods such as qPCR, Qubit, and Pico Green. OD260 methods such Nanodrop and UV-spectrophotometry are not-suitable.

Please Note:

dsDNA – Double-Stranded DNA; ssDNA – Single-stranded DNA

The assay was done by using the following conditions:

1. 10 mM Tris-HCl with or without 0.1% triton (final concentration) and three different: pH 7.5, pH 8.0 and pH 8.8

1.

Add 5 μL magnetic beads to the 10 μL DNA sample.

2.

If necessary, briefly centrifuge at 2500 rpm for 30 seconds to bring all contents to the bottom of the tube.

3.

Mix thoroughly for 1 minute by slowly pipetting up and down 25 times (one minute) or by vortex mixer for 5 minutes at 2500 rpm.

4.

If necessary, briefly centrifuge at 2500 rpm for 30 seconds to bring all contents to the bottom of the tube.

5.

Place the sample plate on the magnetic separation plate for 30 seconds or until the solution is clear to separate beads from the solution.

6.

Transfer the supernatant to a clean plate while the sample plate remains on the magnetic separation plate for downstream applications.

C. Troubleshooting

Problem

Low DNA Recovery

Probable Cause

Vertexing speed is too fast.

Vertexing time is too long.

Suggestion

• Reducing either the speed or time

• If using other digital vortex mixers, the vortex condition, such as speed and time, has to be optimized.

Problem

Low DNA Recovery

Probable Cause

Using too many magnetic beads

Suggestion

Thoroughly resuspend the magnetic beads and use the correct amounts of the beads.

Problem

Failure to Remove Impurities.

Probable Cause

Used inappropriate PCR tubes or PCR plates

Suggestion

Make sure that the well diameter at the bottom of the conical section of PCR Tubes or PCR plates is ≥2.5mm.

Problem

Failure to Remove Impurities.

Probable Cause

Vortex speed is too slow, or vortex time is too short.

Suggestion

• Increasing either the speed or time

• If using other digital vortex mixers, the vortex condition, such as speed and time, has to be optimized.

Problem

Failure to Remove Impurities.

Probable Cause

Using fewer magnetic beads

Suggestion

Thoroughly resuspend the magnetic beads and use the correct amounts of the beads.

Problem

Failure to Remove Impurities.

Probable Cause

Strong secondary structure of DNA fragments ( < 50bp dsDNA or < 100 mer ssDNA)

Suggestion

Denature the sample by heating it at 95°C for 2 min.

Problem

Failure to Remove Impurities.

Probable Cause

Too much primer, dimer, adaptor, free dye, and detergent

Suggestion

• Use more magnetic beads.

• Perform the second round of purification by following the same protocol.
