1. for visualizing restriction enzyme digests PAGE Methods DNA Staining As an alternative to UV shadowing the acrylamide gel may be stained with acridine orange or ethidium bromide EtBr and held over a UV trans illuminator to visualize the location of DNA bands within the gel If the DNA is to used as a probe it is important that the stain be completely removed before hybridization as it will compromise hybridization efficiency We recommend staining with acridine orange as opposed to EtBr since acridine orange will be removed from the probe by subsequent purification with HiBind DNA Mini Columns EtBr can be used but requires multiple butanol extractions to remove it before applying sample to the HiBind DNA Mini Column 1 Remove gel from glass plates as described for UV shadowing 2 Remove gel from the plastic wrap and place in a 2 0 ug mL acridine orange solution for 15 minutes Destain the gel in distilled water for 10 minutes Then rewrap the gel in plastic wrap for easier handling and place the gel on a UV trans illuminator to visualize DNA 3 Carefully cut out using a nuclease free scalpel or razor blade the smallest gel fragment possible which contains the DNA band corresponds to bright band in the gel The smaller the size of this gel fragment the better the elution efficiency i e more probe will be recovered more quickly If you are concerned that not all the probe was cut out visualize the gel again with UV li2. 5 10 pg yeast tRNA as a carrier will also increase the yield of DNA recovered The volume of carrier tRNA should be no more than 1 10 the volume of the HBC Buffer added Transfer 750 uL sample to a HiBind DNA Mini Column inserted in a 2 mL Collection Tube Centrifuge at 10 000 x g for 1 minute at room temperature Discard the filtrate and reuse the Collection Tube Repeat Steps 9 11 until all of the remaining sample has been transferred to the HiBind DNA Mini Column 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 E Z N A Poly Gel DNA Extraction Kit Protocol Add 750 uL DNA Wash Buffer Note DNA Wash Buffer must be diluted with 100 ethanol before use Please see Page 4 for instructions Centrifuge at 10 000 x g for 1 minute at room temperature Discard the filtrate and reuse the Collection Tube Centrifuge at 10 000 x g for 2 minutes to dry the column Note This step is critical for removal of trace ethanol that may interfere with downstream applications Transfer the HiBind DNA Mini Column to a sterile 1 5 mL microcentrifuge tube Add 50 ut sterile deionized H O or low salt buffer directly onto HiBind matrix Centrifuge at 10 000 x g for 1 minute to elute bound DNA Note For DNA lt 100 bp approximately 80 will be recovered with a single elution Subsequent elution steps each yield 80 of the remaining bound material For expected yields greater than 20 ug repeat the elution with another 50 uL sterile deion

4. of the gel fragment DNA size and incubation temperature We find that about 70 of a 100 bp DNA fragment elutes in approximately 4 hours at 65 C Larger fragments will take longer to elute 9 E Z N A Poly Gel DNA Extraction Kit Protocol Transfer sample to a Poly Gel Filter unit mounted in a sterile 1 5 ml microcentrifuge tube Use a 1 mL pipette tip with the end cut to do this Centrifuge at 10 000 x g 10 minutes at room temperature Note If isolating labeled DNA probes for use in hybridization assays no further purification is necessary An aliquot of the eluted probe can be used directly in the hybridization reaction An optional phenol chloroform extraction may be performed However do not extract with phenol if the DNA probe is labeled with digoxygenin as DNA will separate into the organic phase Also a standard ethanol precipitation with carrier glycogen tRNA or linear acrylamide may be performed for further clean up Use eluate directly if isolating labeled DNA probes for use in hybridization assays For downstream applications that require enzymatic manipulation of DNA such as with PCR continue to Step 8 below DNA Clean Up with HiBind DNA Mini Columns 10 11 125 10 Add 4 5 5 volumes HBC Buffer Vortex briefly to mix Note HBC Buffer must be diluted with isopropanol before use Please see Page 4 for instructions Note For fragments smaller than 100 bp use at least 6 volumes HBC Buffer Adding
5. performance liquid chromatography HPLC While HPLC remains a potent analytical tool PAGE and its distant cousin capillary electrophoresis CE are probably most often used for the analysis of synthetic oligonucleotides With UV shadowing or ethidium bromide staining PAGE allows the rapid purification of small quantities of synthetic DNA and is especially useful for parallel purification of several samples The E Z N A Poly Gel DNA Extraction Kit combines the simplicity of PAGE with the power of HiBind technology to allow rapid and consistent recovery of ssDNA or dsDNA from acrylamide gels Following PAGE oligonucleotides are first visualized by UV shadowing or ethidium bromide staining and then eluted in 1 4 hours using EDTA containing buffer to eliminate degradation of DNA by contaminating DNase A specially formulated buffer is then added to the eluate which is passed through a HiBind DNA Mini Column The bound DNA is washed to remove salts buffers and any protein contaminants and then eluted with sterile deionized water or low salt buffer Organic extractions and alcohol precipitations are eliminated reducing sample handling time and increasing yields Furthermore the spin column format allows parallel processing of multiple samples The purified DNA is suitable for PCR ligation reactions hybridization techniques or other procedures New in this Edition This manual has been edited for content and redesigned to enhance user read

12. op of a fluorescent material usually a fluorescent TLC silica plate The gel is then illuminated by a UV light source DNA bands in the gel will block transmittance of the UV light to the substrate This will result in a dark area i e non fluorescent area on the substrate 1 The gel must be removed from glass plates glass blocks UV light and will prevent visualization by either UV shadowing or staining and wrapped in plastic wrap to aid in handling and marking Remove the top glass plate and lay a sheet of plastic wrap over the gel then flip the gel amp glass plate over and carefully peel the gel away from the bottom glass plate Wrap the gel entirely in the plastic wrap Tip Use only a single layer of plastic wrap and try to prevent air bubbles from forming between the gel and plastic wrap These bubbles can scatter the UV light and make visualization difficult 2 Place the gel on top of the dull white side of a fluor coated TLC plate Ambion 10110 or Merck 60F254 and remove the plastic wrap on top of the gel Hold a hand held short wavelength 254 nm UV light source over the gel Long wavelength UV light will not work The TLC plate beneath the gel should glow bright purple except wherever nucleic acids are present A DNA band will appear as a dark shadow The limit of sensitivity is about 0 3 ug in a single band Tip UV shadowing works for either DNA or RNA labeled or unlabeled so this technique has many other applications e g
