Chapter 2 Preparing Samples and Reagents Preparing 5X AMPure XP Beads

Preparing 5X AMPure XP BeadsPreparing the beads can be done in advance.

1. Mix the AMPure® bead stock. Make sure that all of the settled beads are well homogenized.

2. Pipette 20 mL of 1X AMPure into a 50 mL test tube, magnetically pellet the beads and remove 16 mL of supernatant.

3. Vortex the remaining 4 mL of 5X bead solution to resuspend the beads.

IMPORTANT: Just before starting the protocol, you will aliquot the AMPure beads into an empty 8-tube strip on the work surface. This step is done last in order to avoid bead settling.

Preparing Adapter MixNOTE: This section applies only if you are preparing your own adapter mix.

1. Resuspend lyophilized adapter oligonucleotides to 100µM each in 10mM Tris-EDTA, pH 8.0.

2. Add equal volumes of adapters to a 1.5 mL microfuge tube to produce a 50µM mixture of both, then vortex and spin down briefly.

3. Aliquot 50 µL of the adapters into PCR tubes, cap the tubes and anneal using the following thermocycling parameters:

• Step 1: 95 °C for 2:00 minutes

• Step 2: 0.1 °C/second to 25 °C

• Step 3: 25 °C for 5:00 minutes

• Step 4: 4 °C hold

4. Pool the annealed adapters into a clean 1.5 mL tube.

5. Vortex and spin down briefly.

6. Aliquot into single use portions in PCR tubes and cap the tubes. Store frozen at -20 °C.

NOTE: Adapters can be prepared in advance and stored at -20 °C prior to use, but avoid freeze-thaw cycles.

7. Prepare the use-concentration by diluting 10-fold (50µM to 5µM) in 10mM Tris or reagent grade water.

Preparing 70% v/v EtOHCombine 28 mL of 100% EtOH and 12 mL of UltraPure water in a sterile 50 mL Falcon tube and mix.

Preparing the Molecular Biology Grade Water AliquotPipette 25 mL of molecular biology grade water into a sterile 50 mL Falcon tube.

DRAFT


Preparing Samples Chapter 2 Preparing Samples and Reagents

Preparing SamplesNOTE: We recommend using color-coded Axygen® strip tubes to ensure correct setup.

1. Pipette 15 µL of fragmented DNA sample, 200 ng (13 ng/µL) to 1000 ng (67 ng/µL) concentration, into each tube of an Axygen 8-tube strip.

2. Repeat step 1 three times to yield four 8-tube strips filled with sample.

3. To avoid contamination, temporarily cap the sample tubes with 8-tube strip Axygen caps until they are seated in the work surface.

4. Place the sample on ice until ready to load onto the Apollo 324 work surface.

IMPORTANT: The instrument is calibrated for Axygen tubes only. Using other types might result in run failure.

Preparing Ligation MixThis recipe prepares ligation mix for one run of 32 samples. See Table 2-1 for ligation mix component volumes.

1. Prepare the ligation buffer and enzyme mix in a sterile 1.5 mL microfuge tube (for one run of 32 samples, plus four samples for volume loss to surfaces) as follows:

a. Thaw, vortex, and briefly centrifuge the T4 DNA Ligase Buffer and Annealed Adapter tubes.

b. Thaw and briefly centrifuge the T4 DNA Ligase Enzyme tubes.

c. Combine 432 µL of T4 DNA Ligase Buffer, 36 µL of T4 DNA Ligase Enzyme, and 72 µL of Annealed Adapter set (5µM) in a 1.5 mL tube. Pipette mix and briefly centrifuge. Keep the mixture on ice.

Table 2-1 Reagent volumes for ligation mix

d. Aliquot 15 µL of this ligation mix into each tube of four 8-tube strips.

NOTE: If you are adding individual adapters:Combine the T4 DNA Ligase Buffer and T4 DNA Ligase Enzyme. Aliquot 13 µL of this mixture into each tube of four 8-tube strips. Add 2 µL of adapter into each tube.

2. Temporarily cap the tubes and keep on ice. Repeat for each set of ligation mix tubes.

NOTE: To maximize DNA product yield, use a heat sealer to seal the ligation mix tubes. Improper heat sealing or failure to heat seal the ligation mix could result in a decrease in yield in the range of 15–30%.

Heat sealing the ligation mix tubes requires the use of the IntegenX cold block for proper sealing. When using the cold block, be sure that the spacer posts are at the top of the cold block to ensure a proper seal.

32 Samples +4 for pipetting loss 1 sample

T4 DNA Ligase Buffer 432 µL 12 µL

T4 DNA Ligase Enzyme 36 µL 1 µL

Annealed Adapter Set (5µM) 72 µL 2 µL

CAUTION

DRAFT


Chapter 2 Preparing Samples and Reagents Preparing Ligation Mix

3. Heat seal the ligation mix tubes with aluminum heat seal, as follows:

a. Turn on the heat sealer to pre-heat (approximately 10 minutes).

If the temperature can be set, set it to 165 °C. If the time can be set, set it between 0.5 to 1 second.

b. After the plate sealer has pre-heated, retrieve the IntegenX 8-well cold block from a -20 °C freezer. Place the strip tube with the ligation mix into the cold block.

c. Place the aluminum heat seal on top of the tubes seated in the cold block (correct side up as indicated on the packaging) and place the cold block with the foil seal aligned atop the tubes into the heat sealer deck.

d. Insert the cold block into the sealer and seal the tubes by applying the heat for between 0.5 to 1 second.

A proper seal is verified by the appearance of embossed circles at the tops of the tubes.

e. Let the seal cool for 30 seconds and then use a utility knife or razor to cut out the 8-tube strip with the ligation mix.

f. Repeat for each set of ligation mix tubes.

4. Return the ligation mix to ice until ready to place onto the Apollo 324 work surface.

Visually inspect the tubes to be sure that the entire volume is at the bottom of the tubes, without air pockets.
