Plasmid Preps

printer Get a printable version of this protocol (requires Adobe Acrobat

Solution I (Plasmid Prep) Glucose Buffer
  100mL 500mL
0.05M glucose (m.w. 180.16) 0.9g 4.504g
0.025M Tris (pH 8.0) 1.25mL 6.25mL of (2M stock) 0.01M EDTA
  2 mL 10mL of (0.5M stock)

pH 8.0 (should be) adjust if not

SOLUTION II (MAKE FRESH)
1% SDS 5mL of 20% SDS stock
0.2N NaOH 5mL of 4N NaOH stock
  90 mL dH2O

Note: put the water in container first as NaOH + SDS will ppt!

SOLUTION III
  1000mL 500mL 250mL
3.0M KoAC 294g 147g 73.5g
2.0M HoAC 115mL 57.5mL 28.75mL
Make up to required volume with dH2O

pH 4.8

Keep at -20 C! but do not let freeze.  

I don't really know why this solution does not keep at room temperature - but it does not.  

If the freezer gets too cold you can freeze solution III but that tends to separate the solution so that you end up with frozen water on the top. This is caused by repeated freezing and thawing.  It thaws during the day when people open the freezer door often and then re-freezes overnight.  If you mix it really well before use it should be fine.

PEG IN NaCl
13% PEG 8000 13 g
1.6 M NaCl 40 mL 4 M NaCl

Make up to 100 ml with d H2O
