DNA Extraction Kits

Product Overview

This product is suitable for the separation and purification of total DNA from 1–5 mL bacterial culture. After the bacteria are broken by lysozyme, they are dissolved by Buffer BL-1, and then precipitated by Buffer BL-2 to remove protein and cell debris. The genomic DNA in the centrifugal supernatant can be bound to the purification column. After washing with Buffer RP and Buffer WB to remove the proteins and PCR inhibitors remaining on the membrane, the genomic DNA is eluted with Buffer TE and can be used in various molecular biology experiments immediately.

The bacterial pellet is resuspended in 200 µL of Buffer TE, digested with 100 µL of lysozyme solution at 37°C for 30–60 min, then treated with 225 µL of Buffer BL-1 and 225 µL of Buffer BL-2 with 30 s of vortexing each. After clarification at 13,000 rpm for 2 min the supernatant is bound to the purification column, washed with 500 µL of Buffer RP and 600 µL of Buffer WB, dried at 14,000 rpm for 1 min and eluted with 50–100 µL of warm Buffer TE. The OD260/OD280 ratio should be 1.7–1.9.

Applications

  • Total DNA extraction from bacterial culture
  • Genomic DNA for PCR
  • Genomic DNA for enzyme digestion
  • Genomic DNA for hybridization

Key Features

  • Simple and fast: Gram-negative bacteria can obtain high-quality genomic DNA within 1 hour.
  • No proteinase K or RNase digestion step is required.
  • Good quality: DNA can be directly used in molecular biology experiments such as PCR, enzyme digestion, and hybridization.

Storage & Handling

Buffers BL-1, BL-2, RP, WB and TE and the purification columns are stored at room temperature for 1 year. Lysozyme is stored at -20°C for 1 year.

Usage Notes

  • Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
  • Confirm that absolute ethanol has been added to the wash buffers before first use.
  • Thick-walled bacterial species require a longer lysozyme incubation.
  • RNA can be removed by an optional RNase A treatment at 1:200.
  • Ensure complete lysis to avoid blocking the column.
  • Store the eluted DNA at -20°C.
  • Lysozyme is supplied as 600 mg (50 T) or 2,400 mg (200 T); the protocol uses 100 µL of lysozyme solution per preparation. Follow the manufacturer's manual for its preparation.

Safety & Regulatory

Q.How should the Bacterial DNA Extraction Kit be stored and how long is the shelf life?
A.Buffers BL-1, BL-2, RP, WB and TE and the purification columns are stored at room temperature for 1 year. Lysozyme is stored at -20°C for 1 year.
Q.What is included in the kit?
A.Each kit supplies Buffer BL-1, Buffer BL-2, Buffer RP, lysozyme, Buffer WB, Buffer TE and nucleic acid purification columns, in 50 T and 200 T sizes. The 50 T kit contains 600 mg of lysozyme and 50 columns.
Q.How much bacterial culture does the kit process?
A.Each preparation uses 1–5 mL of bacterial culture. High-quality genomic DNA can be obtained from Gram-negative bacteria within 1 hour, without a proteinase K or RNase digestion step.
Q.How are thick-walled bacteria handled?
A.Thick-walled bacterial species require a longer lysozyme incubation than the standard 30–60 min at 37°C.
Q.How is the DNA eluted and what purity can be expected?
A.The dried column is eluted with 50–100 µL of warm Buffer TE at 37°C after standing 1 minute. The OD260/OD280 ratio should be 1.7–1.9, and the eluate is used directly or stored at -20°C.
Q.Is this product for research use only?
A.Yes. The manual states that the product is for research use only.
