Protocol
1 Sample preparation
First step of sample preparation differs if you are using (A)culture cells OR (B)Tissue specimen. Buffers are highlighted in blue to prevent mistakes.
A) If you are using cell-line:
- Collect at most 6 x 10^6 of cultured cell-line.
- Add 600 µL of C Extraction Buffer (For cells)
- Lyse cells by pipetting
B) If you are using Tissue samples:
- Take a at most 20 mg of fresh or frozen Tissue sample in a 1.5mL tube
- Add 600 µL of PT Extraction Buffer (For Tissue)
- Grind the Tissue specimen with a pestle
Following procedures are same for both Cell-line and Tissue samples.
- Vortex the samples for more than 30 secs
2 PT binding
- Centrifuge sample at 13,000 x g, 10 mins, 4C
- To a new tube, transfer supernatant (remember volume for next step)
- Add PT binding buffer, same volume as removed supernatant in previous step
- Mix by inverting tube
3 Column loading
Load the whole sample by repeating [loading -> centrifuge -> discard flow through] twice.
- Add 600 µL of the sample mixture to the column
- Centrifuge sample at 13,000 x g, 1 min, 4C
- Discard flow through
- Add rest of sample mixture to the column
- Centrifuge sample at 13,000 x g, 1 min, 4C
- Discard flow through
4 Wash and DNaseI treatment
- Add 500 µL of PT wash buffer1 to the column
- Centrifuge sample at 13,000 x g, 1 min, 4C
- Discard flow through
- Add 100 µL of DNaseI to the column
- Incubate for 15 minute at room temprature
- Add 300 µL of PT wash buffer1 to the column
- Centrifuge sample at 13,000 x g, 1 min, 4C
- Discard flow through
- Add 600 µL of PT wash buffer2 to the column
- Centrifuge sample at 13,000 x g, 2 min, 4C
- Discard flow through
5 Elution
- Place the column on a new, labled 1.5 mL tube for collecting eluate
- Add 50 µL of ddH2O to center of the membrane of the column
- Incubate on bench for 3 mins
- Centrifuge sample at 13,000 x g, 1 min, 4C
6 Quantification
- Measure concentration of RNA sample
