High Throughput Isolation Of PCR Products Using ChargeSwitch® PCR Clean-Up

互联网

实验原理

 

The ChargeSwitch® Technology is a novel magnetic bead-based technology providing a switchable surface that is charge dependent on the surrounding buffer pH to facilitate nucleic acid purification. The ChargeSwitch® chemistry is ideal for purification of DNA using liquid handling robots, avoiding the need for centrifugation steps or the use of ethanol or chaotropic salts. In low pH conditions, the ChargeSwitch® Magnetic Beads have a positive charge and binds the negatively charged nucleic acid backbone (see figure below). Proteins and other contaminants are not bound and are washed away using the wash buffer. To elute nucleic acids, the charge on the surface is neutralized by raising the pH to 8.5 using a low salt elution buffer (see figure below). Purified DNA elutes instantly into this elution buffer.

实验设备

 

96 x 200 µl U-bottomed microtiter plate

Any liquid handling robotic workstation with a gripper arm to process samples in 96-well plates.

Appropriate tips for liquid dispensing and aspiration [You may use any tips of choice to dispense and aspirate liquid during the purification procedure. Consider the following when choosing an appropriate tip to use. 1. Fixed vs. disposalbe tips. 2. Tip size vs. head size. 3. Conductive or non-conductive. 4. Sterile or non-sterile. 5. Filtered or non-filtered]

96-Well Magnetic Separator [The 96-Well Magnetic Separator available from Invitrogen (cat. no. CS15096) is a magnetic separation rack suitable for use in protocols with magnetic beads. The rack can hold up to 96 samples in a deep well plate. The deep well plate fits onto the magnetic separator, associating the array of 24 neodymium magnets with 96 samples for magnetic sample processing (see figures below).]

Automated Procedure for Purifying PCR Products

Automated Protocol
This section provides a general protocol for automated purification of PCR products in a 96-well format. Use the parameters and guidelines provided above, as well as the protocol below to develop the script for your liquid handling robot. For more information, see http://www.invitrogen.com or call Technical Service.
Follow the protocol below to purify PCR products. The volumes given are on a per sample basis.
1. To ~50 µl PCR samples in 96-well plates, add 10 µl ChargeSwitch® Magnetic Beads.
2. Add 60 µl Purification Buffer (N5).
3. Shake at medium speed for 30 seconds to evenly distribute the magnetic beads in the solution.
4. Move samples to the 96-Well Magnetic Separator.
5. Wait for 30 seconds.
6. Aspirate all of the supernatant and discard, leaving behind the pellet of beads.
7. Move samples to the shaker.
8. Add 150 µl Wash Buffer (W12).
9. Shake at medium speed for 30 seconds to evenly distribute the magnetic beads in the solution.
10. Move samples to the 96-Well Magnetic Separator.
11. Wait for 1 minute.
12. Aspirate all of the supernatant and discard, leaving behind the pellet of beads.
13. Move samples to the shaker.
14. Add 150 µl Wash Buffer (W12).
15. Shake at medium speed for 30 seconds to evenly distribute the magnetic beads in the solution.
16. Move samples to the 96-Well Magnetic Separator.
17. Wait for 1 minute.
18. Aspirate all of the supernatant and discard, leaving behind the pellet of beads.
19. Move samples to the shaker.
20. Add 50 µl Elution Buffer (E5; 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.5).
21. Shake at fast speed for 1 minute to evenly distribute the magnetic beads within the solution.
22. Wait for 30 seconds.
23. Move samples to the 96-Well Magnetic Separator.
24. Wait for 1 minute.
25. Slowly aspirate supernatant containing the purified PCR product to a 96 x 200 µl U-bottomed microtiter plate.

Storage
Store the purified PCR product at –20°C or use the PCR product in the downstream applications of choice.
