DNase Protocol

Revision as of 11:16, 24 May 2007

Overview

Protocol for DNase treatment of total RNA. This uses a DNase inactivating reagent and thus avoids the DNase heat inactivation step that makes me nervous.

Materials

• THAWED 10X DNase Buffer
• X μL reagent 2
  • component A (reagent 2 is made up of multiple components)
  • component B
• equipment 1
• equipment 2

Procedure

1. In order to DNase 20ug of RNA in a 100ul reaction, mix the following:

• 10μL 10X DNase buffer
• 78μL dH₂0
• 2μL DNase
• 10μL RNA(1ug/μL)

1. Incubate at 37° C for 20-30 min.
2. Add 0.1 volume resuspended DNase Inactivation Reagent.
3. Incubate 2 min at RT mixing every 30s.
4. Centrifuge at 10,000xg for 1.5 min.
5. Transfer solution to a new tube avoiding pelleted Inactivation Reagent.
