Solutions/reagents:

  • 3M Sodium Acetate solution
  • Glycogen
  • 95% EtOH
  • 70% EtOH
  • water
  • buffer
  • DNA sample

Equipment:

  • Centrifuge
  • Eppendorf tubes

Steps:

  1. Measure out DNA sample into an Eppendorf tube.
    Add 0.1 volume 3M Sodium Acetate solution.

  2. Add 1 µl of Glycogen.

  3. Add 2 volumes 95% EtOH.

  4. Option 1: Store at -20°C for 12 hrs(overnight).
    (or)
    Option 2: Store at -80°C for 30 mins.

  5. Centrifuge at maximum speed for at least 15 mins at room temperature, gently aspirate out the supernatant and discard it.

    6. (Optional)
    Add 1 ml of 70% EtOH.
    Store at room temperature for 5 mins.

    (Optional)
    Centrifuge at maximum speed for 5 mins at room temperature, gently aspirate out the supernatant and discard it.

  6. Dry the pellet in air for 10 - 15 mins.
    Dry until all the liquid is gone.

  7. Option 1: Add water to pellet.
    (or)
    Option 2: Add buffer to pellet.

    Resuspend the pellet by vortexing/by shaking vigorously.
