  • Incubate the sample at room temperature for 30 seconds, then remove
    and discard all of the supernatant from each well.

  • Repeat the 80% EtOH wash steps twice.

  • Open the lid and let the sample tube stand at room temperature for
    15 minutes to dry and then remove the sample from the magnetic
    stand.

  • Add 52.5μL RSB to each sample. Gently pipette the entire volume up
    and down 10 times to mix thoroughly.

  • Incubate the sample at room temperature for 2 minutes.

  • Centrifuge briefly and place the sample on the magnetic stand at room
    temperature for 5 minutes.

  • Transfer 50μL of the supernatant (ds cDNA) to a new PCR tube.


Note: The purified ds DNA can be stored at−15 to− 25 ◦C for up to seven days.

  • Pre-heat the thermal cycler to 30◦C.

  • Prepare the in-line control reagent by diluting the CTE to 1/100 in RSB
    (1μL CTE + 99μL RSB) before use. Add 10μL of dilute CTE to each
    sample that contains 50μL of dsDNA. If not using the in-line control
    reagent, add 10μL of RSB instead.

  • Add 40μL of ERP to each sample. Gently pipette the entire volume up
    and down 10 times to mix thoroughly.

  • Place the sample on the thermal cycler to pre-form end repair.


30 ◦C for 30 minutes


  • Vortex the AMPure XP beads until they are well dispersed, then add
    160 μL of well-mixed AMPure XP beads to each sample containing 100μL
    of end repaired dsDNA mixture. Gently pipette the entire volume up and
    down 10 times to mix thoroughly.

  • Incubate the sample at room temperature for 15 minutes.

  • Centrifuge briefly and place the sample on magnetic stand at room
    temperature for 5 minutes to make sure that all beads are bound to the
    side of the wells.

  • Remove and discard 127.5μL of supernatant from each sample.


Note: Leave the sample tubes on the magnetic stand while performing all the following
80% EtOH wash steps.


  • With the sample remaining on the magnetic stand, add 200μLoffreshly
    prepared 80% EtOH to each sample without disturbing the beads.
