Quality Control

As iNtRON quality control program, the performance of iNtRON’s products are monitored routinely on alot-to-lot basis. The genomic DNA yield of i-genomic series Genomic DNA Mini Kit is tested bypreparing various sample and assaying the genomic DNA yield spectrophotometrically. The quality ofisolated genomic DNA is checked by restriction digestion, PCR, agarose gel electrophoresis, andspectrophotometry. The i-genomic CSI II DNA Mini Kit (Season II) is tested to ensure the absence ofDNase contamination. All buffers are each incubated with 1 mg pUC18 DNA for 6 hours at 37oC. TheDNA is then visualized by electrophoresis on an agarose gel and compared to a positive control todetermine if any linear or nicked plasmid DNA is visible.

Troubleshooting Guide

Problem Possible Cause Recommendation

Low flow rate

in column

Clogged Spin Column by

particulate material

• Completely perform the Disruption & Homogenization step.

• Increase the incubation time at 65C in Lysis step.

High viscosity of Lysate

Reagents correctly

• Reduce the amounts of starting material.

• Increase the incubation time at 65C in Lysis step.

Problem in centrifugation • Check your centrifuge, and then speed up or increase the

centrifugation time.

Low DNA

yield

Inadequate lysis • Reduce the amounts of starting material.

• Increase the incubation time at 65C in Lysis step.

Error in DNA binding • After adding ethanol in DNA Binding step, please mix well by

gently inverting.

• Check that the amount of ethanol is added correctly to the

supernatant

Incorrect Washing step • Check again that the amount of ethanol is added correctly to

Buffer IWB.

• When store Buffer IWB, always keep a lid shut tightly without

evaporation

Insufficient DNA elution • Increase the volume of Buffer IE or water to 100 μl

• Increase the incubation time on the column to 5 ~ 10 min at room

temperature prior to centrifugation.

• Reload the elute, and then incubation for 1 min at room

temperature prior to centrifugation

Binding Carrier was not

added to sample mixture

• Repeat the purification procedure with new samples.

Problems in

downstream

experiments

Ethanol contamination • Ensure that during Buffer IWB, the column membrane should be

dried completely. Please centrifuge at full speed for 5 ~ 10 min to

dry the membrane.

• During Buffer IWB, after centrifugation, remove carefully the Spin

Column from the Collection Tubes without contacting with the

flow-through. This careless contact will result in contamination of

ethanol

• Proteinase K Solution(20 mg/ml)Proteinase K possesses a high specific activity witch remains stable over a wide range oftemperature and pH values with substantially increased activity at higher temperature. Proteinase KSolution shows a milk-white color, since it is supplied as concentrate. After thawing, freshly use. DONOT heat to redissolve. We recommend to aliquot to small volume of Proteinase K Solution

• Preheat a water bath or heating block

• Equilibrate samples to room temperature (15-25 °C).

• Equilibrate Buffer IE or distilled water for elution to room temperature.

• If Buffer IP or Buffer IG contains precipitates, dissolve by heating to 70 °C with gentle agitation.

• CentrifugationAll centrifugation steps are carried out at RT (15 - 25°C)

Recovery of Purified DNA

The yield of DNA isolated from biological samples strongly depends on the amount and source of the starting

material. In addition, DNA size can also vary between 30 kb (in fresh samples) or be below this range in forensic

samples.

If DNA yields are below 1 μg, quantification using a spectrophotometer will be difficult. In this case, we recommend

quantitative amplification methods for determination of yield.

If purifying DNA from very small amounts of sample, such as 1-10 μl blood or forensic samples, we recommend

adding binding carrier to the sample. Be aware that the sample will then contain considerably more binding carrier.

Therefore, when quantifying the purified DNA, avoid quantification methods that are not specific for DNA.

Protocol G (Small Amount of Tissues)

1. Transfer a tissue sample of less than 10 mg in weight to a 1.5 ml microcentrifuge tube (not provided)..

2. Add 200 μl of Buffer IP, 20 μl of Proteinase K Solution, 3 μl of RNase A and 7.5 μl Binding Carrier into sample

tube and mix vortexing vigorously. Then Incubate the lysate at 65°C for overnight.Note : For small amounts of tissue, lysis is complete in 4–6 h, but best results are achieved after overnight lysis. Vortex the

tube for 10 s every 1-2 hr to improve lysis

3. Briefly centrifuge the 1.5 ml tube to remove drops from the inside of the rid.

4. Add 200 μl of Buffer IG into the lysate, and mix well by gently inverting 5 - 6 times. After mixing, Then Incubate

the lysate at 65°C for 10 min.

5. Briefly centrifuge the 1.5 ml tube to remove drops from the inside of the rid.

6. Add 200 μl of absolute ethanol into the lysate, and mix well by gently inverting 5 - 6 times or by pipetting. DO

NOT vortex. After mixing, Centrifuge at 13,000 rpm for 1 min.Note : This step is an equilibration step for binding genomic DNA to column membrane. It is important to assure proper mixing

after adding the ethanol, until not showing 2-phase which is not mixed. Also, this step conduces to pass efficiently cell lysate

through a column.

7. Carefully apply 600 μl of the supernatant from step 6 to the Spin Column (in a 2 ml Collection Tube) without

wetting the rim, close the cap, and centrifuge at 13,000 rpm for 1 min. Discard the filtrate and place the Spin

Column in a 2 ml Collection Tube (reuse).Note : Close each Spin Column in order to avoid aerosol formation during centrifugation. Do not transfer any solid materials.

8. Repeat by applying up to 100 μl of the remaining supernatant from step 6 to the Spin Column.

9. Place the Spin Column into a new 2.0 ml Collection Tube (additionally supplied), add 700 μl of Buffer IWA to

the Spin Column, and centrifuge for 1 min at 13,000 rpm. Discard the flow-through and reuse the Collection

Tube.

10. Add 700 μl of Buffer IWB to the Spin Column, and centrifuge for 1 min at 13,000 rpm. Discard the flow-through

and place the Column into a new 2.0 ml Collection Tube (additionally supplied), Then again centrifuge for

additionally 1 min to dry the membrane. Discard the flow-through and Collection Tube altogether.Note : It is very important to dry the membrane of the Spin Column since residual ethanol may inhibit subsequent reactions.

Following the centrifugation, remove carefully the Spin Column from the Collection Tube without contacting with the flow-

through, since this will result in carryover of ethanol.

Note : Ensure that 40 ml of absolute ethanol has been added to Buffer IWB.

11. Place the Spin Column into a new 1.5 ml tube (not supplied), and 30 - 100 μl of Buffer IE directly onto the

membrane. Incubate for 1 min at room temperature and then centrifuge for 1 min at 13,000 rpm to elute. Note :

Elution with 30 μl (instead of 50 μl) increases the final DNA concentration, but reduces overall DNA yield conventionally.

Note : A new 1.5 ml tube can be used for the second elution step to prevent dilution of the first eluate. Alternatively, the tube

can be reused for the second elution step to combine the eluates.

10. Place the Spin Column into a new 1.5 ml tube (not supplied), and 30 - 100 μl of Buffer IE directly onto the

membrane. Incubate for 1 min at room temperature and then centrifuge for 1 min at 13,000 rpm to elute.Note : Elution with 30 μl (instead of 50 μl) increases the final DNA concentration, but reduces overall DNA yield conventionally.

Note : A new 1.5 ml tube can be used for the second elution step to prevent dilution of the first eluate. Alternatively, the tube

can be reused for the second elution step to combine the eluates.
