Formulas for Qiagen Kit Buffers

Do not autoclave solutions containing ethanol, isopropanol or MOPS; use sterile filtration if necessary.

Buffer AE (elution buffer for genomic DNA preps)

  • 10 mM Tris-HCl
  • 0.5 mM EDTA
  • pH 9.0

Buffer P1 <-------This recipe has been verified in the McClean lab 5/1/2017

  • 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0
  • 10 mM EDTA
  • 100 μg/ml RNaseA

DO NOT AUTOCLAVE. Use a vacuum filter with 0.22μm pores (however, this has also been made without filtering so it might not be necessary). Store at 4°C. The buffer and RNaseA can also be ordered from Qiagen separately (catalog numbers 19051 and 19101).

Buffer P2

  • 200 mM NaOH
  • 1% SDS (Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate)

Buffer P3 (not for spin columns, but for Qiatips, midi, maxi, giga kits)

  • 3.0 M potassium acetate pH 5.5

Buffer DP3 (for Qiagen Directprep 96-well miniprep)

  • 3.0 M ammonium acetate pH 5.5

Buffer N3 <-------This recipe has been verified in the McClean lab

  • 4.2 M Gu-HCl
  • 0.9 M potassium acetate
  • HOAc – final pH 4.2 (other sites say pH 4.8, but I've only tested 4.2 and it works)

Buffer PB

  • 5 M Gu-HCl
  • 30% isopropanol

For 100 mL of PB buffer

  • Pour < 60 mL of MilliQ water into a beaker.
  • Add Gu-HCl = 47.78g.
  • Stirring with hot plate turned on will help Gu-HCl dissolve faster
  • Pour the solution into a 100 mL measuring cylinder
  • Add more water to make a total of 70 mL solution.
  • Add 30 mL of isopropanol. Stir the solution.
  • Sterile filter the solution.

Buffer QG

  • 5.5 M guanidine thiocyanate (GuSCN)
  • 20 mM Tris HCl pH 6.6

Buffer PE

  • 10 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5
  • 80% ethanol
  • HCl- final pH 7.5

Buffer QX1 (for solution and binding of agarose gels)

  • 7 M NaPO4
  • 10 mM NaAc
  • pH 5.3

Buffer QXB (for binding of large >3000 bp fragments to columns)

  • 5 M GuHCl

Buffer QBT (equilibration buffer)

  • 750 mM NaCl
  • 50 mM MOPS pH 7.0
  • 15% isopropanol
  • 0.15% triton X-100
  • Do not autoclave. Sterile filter

Buffer QC (wash buffer)

  • 1.0M NaCl
  • 50 mM MOPS pH 7.0
  • 15% isopropanol

Buffer QF (elution buffer)

  • 1.25M NaCl
  • 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.5
  • 15% isopropanol

Buffer QN

  • 1.6M NaCl
  • 50 mM MOPS pH 7.0
  • 15% isopropanol

Buffer FWB2

  • 1M potassium acetate, pH 5.0

Buffer B1 (bacterial lysis buffer)

  • 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0
  • 50 mM EDTA pH 8.0
  • 0.5% Tween-20
  • 0.5% Triton-X100
  • RNAse A 200 μg/l

Buffer B2 (bacterial lysis buffer)

  • 3 M Gu-HCl
  • 20% Tween-20

Buffer C1 (cell lysis buffer) (store at +4)

  • 1.28 M sucrose
  • 40 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5
  • 20 mM MgCl2
  • 4% Triton X-100

Buffer G2 (digestion buffer)

  • 800 mM GU-HCl
  • 30 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0
  • 30 mM EDTA pH 8.0
  • 5% Tween-20
  • 5% Triton-X100

Buffer Y1 (yeast lysis buffer) (store at +4)

  • 1 M Sorbitol
  • 100 mM EDTA pH 8.0
  • 14 mM beta mercaptoethanol (added just before use)

Buffer PAA (PAGE gel elution of DNA)

  • 500 mM NH4Ac
  • 100 mM MgAc2
  • 1 mM EDTA
  • 0.1% SDS

Buffer PNI (purification of oligonucleotides 17 nt and greater)

  • 40% (v/v) 5 M guanidinium chloride
  • 60% (v/v) isopropanol
 Concentration of guanidinium determined by drying down supplied concentrate and measuring mass. Concentration of isopropanol determined by calculation from the supplied user manual.

The LyseBlue indicator dye added to some of the buffers is Thymophthalein, pH shift from colorless to blue at pH 9.3
