Before starting the preparation:
•
Check if Wash Buffer AQ was prepared according to section 3.
1 Cultivate and harvest bacterial cells
Use 2–10 mL of a saturated
E. coli
culture (see
page 8, table 3), pellet cells in a standard benchtop
microcentrifuge for 30 s at > 12,000 x
g
.
Discard the supernatant and remove as much of the
liquid as possible.

30 s
2 Cell lysis
Add
150 μL Buffer A1
. Resuspend the cell pellet
completely by vortexing or pipetting up and down. Make
sure no cell clumps remain before addition of Buffer A2!
Attention: Check Buffer A2 for precipitated SDS. If a white
precipitate is visible, warm the buffer for several minutes
at 30–40 °C until precipitate is dissolved completely. Cool
buffer down to room temperature (18–25 °C) before use.
Add
250 μL Buffer A2
. Mix gently by inverting the tube
5 times. Do not vortex to avoid shearing of genomic DNA.
Incubate at room temperature (18–25 °C) for up to 2 min
or until lysate appears clear.
Add
350 μL Buffer A3
. Mix thoroughly by inverting the
tube until LyseControl has turned colorless throughout
the lysate without any traces of blue color. Do not vortex
to avoid shearing of genomic DNA!
