PEG precipitation

  • Goal: to get cleaner purification of oligos away from nanostructures and to increase the volume of purified nanostructures we have for protection assays.
  • Nanostructures:
    • using 30mM MgCl2, 1x oligos (seems to work best given previous results).
    • designs: c5.0.A, c5.0.C, c5.0.D key
  • PEG: 8%, 10%. Total volume in each is 100 μL
    • 8 % Cocktail:
     40 μL 20% PEG
     10 μL 5M NaCl
     10 μL water
     40 μL Nanostructures (add last)
    • 10 % Cocktail:
     50 μL 20% PEG
     10 μL 5M NaCl
     40 μL Nanostructures (add last)
  • incubate on ice for 15 min.
  • spin at 16 k rcf at 4[[:Category:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] for 10 min.
  • carefully pipette off supernatant
  • resuspended "pellet" in 50 μL of water
    • note: add PEG first, nanostructures last; mix using tapping after everything added. let sit for ~5 min. before putting it on ice
