Important Points before Starting
• Buffer IWBBuffer IWB is supplied as concentrate. Before using for the first time, be sure to add 40 ml of absoluteethanol(96 - 100%) to obtain a working solution.
• Proteinase K Solution(20 mg/ml)Proteinase K possesses a high specific activity witch remains stable over a wide range oftemperature and pH values with substantially increased activity at higher temperature. Proteinase KSolution shows a milk-white color, since it is supplied as concentrate. After thawing, freshly use. DONOT heat to redissolve. We recommend to aliquot to small volume of Proteinase K Solution
• Preheat a water bath or heating block
• Equilibrate samples to room temperature (15-25 °C).
• Equilibrate Buffer IE or distilled water for elution to room temperature.
• If Buffer IP or Buffer IG contains precipitates, dissolve by heating to 70 °C with gentle agitation.
• CentrifugationAll centrifugation steps are carried out at RT (15 - 25°C)
Recovery of Purified DNA
The yield of DNA isolated from biological samples strongly depends on the amount and source of the starting
material. In addition, DNA size can also vary between 30 kb (in fresh samples) or be below this range in forensic
samples.
If DNA yields are below 1 μg, quantification using a spectrophotometer will be difficult. In this case, we recommend
quantitative amplification methods for determination of yield.
If purifying DNA from very small amounts of sample, such as 1-10 μl blood or forensic samples, we recommend
adding binding carrier to the sample. Be aware that the sample will then contain considerably more binding carrier.
Therefore, when quantifying the purified DNA, avoid quantification methods that are not specific for DNA.

Protocol G (Small Amount of Tissues)
1. Transfer a tissue sample of less than 10 mg in weight to a 1.5 ml microcentrifuge tube (not provided)..
2. Add 200 μl of Buffer IP, 20 μl of Proteinase K Solution, 3 μl of RNase A and 7.5 μl Binding Carrier into sample
tube and mix vortexing vigorously. Then Incubate the lysate at 65°C for overnight.Note : For small amounts of tissue, lysis is complete in 4–6 h, but best results are achieved after overnight lysis. Vortex the
tube for 10 s every 1-2 hr to improve lysis
3. Briefly centrifuge the 1.5 ml tube to remove drops from the inside of the rid.
4. Add 200 μl of Buffer IG into the lysate, and mix well by gently inverting 5 - 6 times. After mixing, Then Incubate
the lysate at 65°C for 10 min.
5. Briefly centrifuge the 1.5 ml tube to remove drops from the inside of the rid.
6. Add 200 μl of absolute ethanol into the lysate, and mix well by gently inverting 5 - 6 times or by pipetting. DO
NOT vortex. After mixing, Centrifuge at 13,000 rpm for 1 min.Note : This step is an equilibration step for binding genomic DNA to column membrane. It is important to assure proper mixing
after adding the ethanol, until not showing 2-phase which is not mixed. Also, this step conduces to pass efficiently cell lysate

7. Carefully apply 600 μl of the supernatant from step 6 to the Spin Column (in a 2 ml Collection Tube) without
wetting the rim, close the cap, and centrifuge at 13,000 rpm for 1 min. Discard the filtrate and place the Spin
Column in a 2 ml Collection Tube (reuse).Note : Close each Spin Column in order to avoid aerosol formation during centrifugation. Do not transfer any solid materials.
8. Repeat by applying up to 100 μl of the remaining supernatant from step 6 to the Spin Column.
9. Place the Spin Column into a new 2.0 ml Collection Tube (additionally supplied), add 700 μl of Buffer IWA to
the Spin Column, and centrifuge for 1 min at 13,000 rpm. Discard the flow-through and reuse the Collection
Tube.
10. Add 700 μl of Buffer IWB to the Spin Column, and centrifuge for 1 min at 13,000 rpm. Discard the flow-through
and place the Column into a new 2.0 ml Collection Tube (additionally supplied), Then again centrifuge for
additionally 1 min to dry the membrane. Discard the flow-through and Collection Tube altogether.Note : It is very important to dry the membrane of the Spin Column since residual ethanol may inhibit subsequent reactions.
Following the centrifugation, remove carefully the Spin Column from the Collection Tube without contacting with the flow-
through, since this will result in carryover of ethanol.
Note : Ensure that 40 ml of absolute ethanol has been added to Buffer IWB.
11. Place the Spin Column into a new 1.5 ml tube (not supplied), and 30 - 100 μl of Buffer IE directly onto the
membrane. Incubate for 1 min at room temperature and then centrifuge for 1 min at 13,000 rpm to elute. Note :
Elution with 30 μl (instead of 50 μl) increases the final DNA concentration, but reduces overall DNA yield conventionally.
Note : A new 1.5 ml tube can be used for the second elution step to prevent dilution of the first eluate. Alternatively, the tube
can be reused for the second elution step to combine the eluates.

Protocol F (Small Volumes of Blood)
1. Pipet 1-100 μl whole blood into a 1.5 ml microcentrifuge tube (not provided).
2. Add Buffer IP to a final volume of 100 μl.
3. Add 20 μl of Proteinase K, 3 μl of RNase A Solution and 7.5 μl Binding Carrier into sample tube and gently mix.Note : It is possible to add Proteinase K to blood sample that have already been measured into 1.5 ml tube. It is important to
assure proper mixing after adding the Proteinase K and RNase A solution.
Note : The Binding Carrier improves recovery of small amount of DNA. Be sure that Proteinase K solutions are always kept
under freezer (below -10°C).
4. Add 100 μl of Buffer IG into upper sample tube and mix throughly.Note : Avoid any vigorous vortexing because doing so many induce genomic DNA breakage. In order to assure efficient lysis,
it is important that the blood sample and Buffer IG are mixed thoroughly to yield a lysis solution.
5. Incubate the lysate at 65°C for 10 min.Note : For complete lysis, mix 3 or 4 times during incubation by inverting tube. If it lysis perfectly, the red color of lysate
becomes the dark green.

7. Add 150 μl of absolute ethanol into the lysate, and mix well by gently inverting 5 - 6 times or by pipetting. DO
NOT vortex. After mixing, briefly centrifuge the 1.5 ml tube to remove drops from inside of the lid.Note : This step is an equilibration step for binding genomic DNA to column membrane. It is important to assure proper mixing
after adding the ethanol, until not showing 2-phase which is not mixed. Also, this step conduces to pass efficiently cell lysate
through a column.
8. Carefully apply the mixture from step 7 to the Spin Column (in a 2 ml Collection Tube) without wetting the rim,
close the cap, and centrifuge at 13,000 rpm for 1 min. Discard the filtrate and place the Spin Column in a new 2
ml Collection Tube (additionally supplied).Note : Close each Spin Column in order to avoid aerosol formation during centrifugation. Do not transfer any solid materials.
