Resuspend pellet by vortexing/by shaking vigorously. </li><li>Add 200 µl of <a href="#freshly prepared AL2" >freshly prepared AL2</a>. Close the tube tightly and invert the tube 5 - 6 times. Do not vortex! </li><li>Store the tube on ice. </li><li>Add 300 µl of <a href="#AL3" >AL3</a>. Close the tube tightly and gently mix the contents by inverting the tube. </li><li>Incubate on ice for 5 mins. </li><li>Centrifuge at maximum speed for 5 mins at 4°C and aspirate out the top layer. Transfer top aqueous layer into Eppendorf tube (2). Discard bottom layer. </li><li>Measure out 900 µl of isopropanol into Eppendorf tube (2). Vortex the mixture for a few secs. </li><li>Centrifuge at maximum speed for 10 mins at room temperature, gently aspirate out the supernatant and discard it. </li><li>Add 1 ml of 70% EtOH. Vortex the mixture for a few secs. </li><li>Centrifuge at maximum speed for 5 mins at room temperature, gently aspirate out the supernatant and discard it. </li><li>Dry the pellet in air. </li><li>Option 1: Add 50 µl of TE. (or) Option 2: Add 50 µl of water. Dissolve the pellet in the solution. </li></ol>TOTAL TIME REQUIRED FOR THE COMPLETION OF THE PROTOCOL :~ 12 hrs, 26 mins</html>
