用于质粒DNA提取的QuickLyse Miniprep试剂盒

No. Vortexing for 30 seconds as described in the QuickLyse Miniprep Handbook is absolutely critical to resuspend and lyse the bacterial cells. Failure to follow this step will result in greatly reduced DNA yields.

When using the QuickLyse Miniprep Kit, the addition of 125 µl isopropanol to the lysate, prior to transferring it to the QuickLyse Spin Column, may increase plasmid DNA yield in some cases.

Yes, nuclease-free water may be used for the elution of plasmid DNA purified with the QuickLyse Miniprep Kit. However, for higher DNA stability and optimal yields, it is recommend to elute using the provided elution buffer (Buffer QLE).

Elution Buffer QLE of the QuickLyse Miniprep Kit contains 10 mM Tris-Cl and 0.1 mM EDTA (pH 8.5). Due to the very low concentration of EDTA, enzymatic downstream reactions such as PCR and cycle sequencing are not inhibited.

Normally, 1.5 ml bacterial culture is used with the QuickLyse Miniprep Kit. Only if the OD600 is < 2.0, up to 3 ml culture may be used. Growth in LB medium is strongly recommended. Growth in nutrient-rich media, such as 2xYT, is not recommended.
