Problem
Possible cause and suggestions
RNA contami-
nation of
plasmid DNA
RNase digestion was inefficient
•
RNase was not added to Buffer RES or stored improperly. Add
new RNase to Buffer RES. See section 8.2 for ordering informa-
tion.
PH or salt concentration of wash buffer is too low
•
Check RNA content in the wash fractions (see Figure 6). Keep
all buffers tightly closed. Check pH of Buffer EQU (pH 6.5) and
WASH (pH 6.5) and adjust with HCl or NaOH if necessary.
Low purity

NucleoBond
®
Xtra column filter was not removed before second
washing step
•
Protein content too high due to inefficient washing. Remove the
NucleoBond
®
Xtra column filter
before
performing the second
washing step with Buffer WASH.
Buffer WASH was used instead of Buffer EQU for the first wash
•
Buffer EQU has to be used to wash out the NucleoBond
®
Xtra
column filter to avoid SDS carryover.
Only minimal amounts of DNA were loaded onto the column
•
Too much free binding capacity needs more extensive washing
– double washing step with Buffer WASH.
•
Reduce lysis time < 5 min.
No nucleic
acid pellet
formed after
precipitation
Pellet was lost
•
Handle the precipitate with care. Decant solutions carefully. De-
termine DNA yield in Buffer ELU in order to calculate the plas-
mid DNA that should be recovered after precipitation.
Plasmid DNA might be smeared over the wall of the tube
•
Dissolve DNA with an appropriate volume of reconstitution buffer
by rolling the tube for at least 30 min.
Nucleic acid did not precipitate
•
Check type and volumes of precipitating solvent. Make sure to
use at least 0.7 volumes of isopropanol and mix thoroughly.
•
Centrifuge for longer periods of time at higher speed.
