Wash column filter and column
(Buffer EQU)
Wash the NucleoBond
®
Xtra column filter and Nu-
cleoBond
®
Xtra column with
Equilibration Buffer EQU
.
Apply the buffer to the funnel shaped rim of the filter and
make sure it is washing out the lysate which is remaining
in the filter. Omitting this step or just pouring the buffer
directly inside the funnel may reduce plasmid yield.

10 Discard column filter
Either pull out the NucleoBond
®
Xtra column filter or discard it by
turning the column upside down.
11 Wash column
(Buffer WASH)
Wash the NucleoBond
®
Xtra column with
Wash Buffer WASH
. It is
important to remove the column filter before applying the washing
buffer to avoid low purity.
8 ml
25 ml
Elution
(Buffer ELU)
Elute the plasmid DNA with
Elution Buffer ELU
. Collect the eluate in a 15 ml or
50 ml centrifuge tube (not provided).
Note: Preheating Buffer ELU to 50°C prior to elution may improve yields for large con-
structs such as BACs.
Proceed with
step 13
for the centrifugation protocol after isopropanol precipitation
or continue with
section 7.3
for plasmid concentration and desalination by using
the NucleoBond
®
Finalizer (NucleoBond
®
Xtra Midi Plus) or NucleoBond
®
Finalizer
Large (NucleoBond
®
Xtra Maxi Plus).
Optional: Determine plasmid yield by UV spectrophotometry in order to adjust desired
concentration of DNA in step 15 and calculate the recovery after precipitation.
