Ethanol Precipitation of Vector DNA
From GcatWiki
- After digestion with restriction enzymes (ex. Normally a 40 µL digestion)
- Increase volume to 90 µL with dH20
- Add 10 µL of 3M NaOAc pH 5.2
- Add 2X the volume of ethanol (ex. 200 µL of ethanol)
- Vortex and put in -80°C freezer for 15 minutes
- Centrifuge for 30 minutes (Place the tube hinge out in the microcentrifuge to know where the pellet is)
- Dump off the liquid and allow to dry, either sitting on the bench or with the lyophilizer
