Carry-over of ethanol
•
Make sure that the NucleoSpin
®
Plasmid EasyPure Column is
completely dry after step 5. Otherwise discard flow-through and
repeat centrifugation.
Elution of plasmid DNA with TE buffer
•
EDTA may inhibit sequencing reactions. Repurify plasmid
DNA and elute with Buffer AE or water. Alternatively, the eluted
plasmid DNA can be precipitated with ethanol and redissolved
in Buffer AE or water.
Not enough DNA used for sequencing reaction
•
Quantify DNA by agarose gel electrophoresis before setting up
sequencing reactions.
