Minikit d’ADN génomique PureLink™

We would recommend using our PureLink gDNA Mini Kit or our ChargeSwitch gDNA Mini Bacteria Kit (Cat. No. CS11301), which can isolate both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. No centrifugation or filtration steps are necessary using this simple one-tube protocol.

Please see the following web page (http://www.thermofisher.com/us/en/home/life-science/dna-rna-purification-analysis/dna-extraction/genomic-dna-extraction/blood-dna-extraction.html) for a comparison of kits that can be used to isolate genomic DNA from blood.

We offer TRIzol reagent that will allow isolation of DNA and RNA from the same sample. Alternatively, we have the following method that has been validated by our R&D team; for sequential isolation of gDNA and total RNA from the same sample. This method involves using 2 of our kits: 1) PureLink RNA Mini Kit (Cat. No. 12183018A, 12183020, 12183025) and 2) PureLink Genomic DNA Mini Kit (Cat. No. K182002, K182000, K182001).

The protocol is detailed below:

Before starting:
- Label all spin columns and buffers from each kit with kit names to prevent confusion.
- Prepare lysis buffer and wash buffers according to the protocol from each kit.
1. Preparing lysates:
- Add 300 µL of lysis buffer (from Purelink RNA Mini Kit, beta-mercaptoethanol added) to cell or tissue sample, lyse the cells as recommended.

2. DNA isolation:
- Load all of the lysate directly onto a Purelink gDNA column (from PureLink Genomic DNA Mini Kit), save flow-through for RNA isolation.
- Centrifuge the Purelink gDNA column at 10,000 x g for 1 min.
- Wash the Purelink gDNA column with 500 µL of Wash Buffer 1 (from PureLink Genomic DNA Mini Kit, ethanol added), centrifuge at 10,000 x g for 1 min.
- Add 500 µL of Wash Buffer 2 (from PureLink Genomic DNA Mini Kit, ethanol added), centrifuge at maximum speed for 3 min to dry the membrane.
- Add 100 µL of Elution Buffer (from PureLink Genomic DNA Mini Kit), incubate at room temperature for 1 min and centrifuge at 10,000 x g for 1 min (yield can be increased if an optional second elution step is added).
- This is purified gDNA.

3. RNA isolation:
- To the above saved flow-through, add same volume of 70% ethanol, mix well and load the lysate/ethanol mix (including all precipitates) onto an RNA spin cartridge (from Purelink RNA Mini Kit).
- Centrifuge at 12,000 x g for 15 sec. Discard flow-through.
- Wash the RNA spin cartridge with 700 µL of Wash Buffer 1 (from Purelink RNA Mini Kit, ethanol added), centrifuge at 12,000 x g for 15 sec.
- Wash twice with 500 µL of Wash Buffer 2 (from Purelink RNA Mini Kit, ethanol added). After the second wash, centrifuge at 12,000 x g for 1 min to dry the membrane.
- Add 50 µL of RNase-free water onto the RNA spin cartridge, incubate at room temperature for 1 min and centrifuge at 12,000 x g for 2 min (yield can be increased if an optional second elution step is added).
- This is purified RNA.

We recommend the following DNA isolation kits:
