Ethanol precipitation of DNA: Primarily used to clean-up DNA that has been stored in phenol
1. In the 1.5mL epi tube containing the DNA sample to clean, add 1mL of COLD 100% ethanol and 100ul sodium acetate (NaOAc) pH 5.2. Mix by inverting.
2. Place in -20°C freezer for at least 3 hours, overnight is fine.
3. Spin at 14,000 rpm in a chilled centrifuge at 4°C for 10-15 min.
4. Discard supernatant. Careful not to disturb pellet! Pellet may be invisible.
5. Re-suspend in 1mL fresh 70% ethanol, centrifuge for 5min at 14,000 rpm.
6. Discard supernatant.
7. Dry pellet in Speed Vac for up to 10min at low or medium heat.
8. Re-suspend pellet in 1x TE or Qiagen AE buffer. Generally use 50-200ul, depending on amount of DNA present. Thermomixer is probably ideal at RT.
