of the PCR amplified library. 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 95μL of supernatant from each sample.
    Note: Leave the sample tubes on the magnetic stand whiling 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.

  • 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 32.5μL 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 30μL of the clear supernatant to a new PCR tube.


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

pherograms were obtained with the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Control, control sample;
Treat, treated sample) before (a) and after (b) library amplification.
