Principle: 
The QIAamp DNA Blood Mini Kit combines the selective binding properties of a silica-gel-based membrane with the speed of a microspin. Purification requires no phenol/chloroform extraction or alcohol precipitation, and involves very little handling. DNA is eluted in Buffer AE or water, ready for direct addition to PCR or other enzymatic reactions.

Precautions:
  • Mix buffer AL thoroughly by shaking before use. If a precipitate has formed dissolve by incubating at 56°C. 
  • Avoid touching the QIAamp membrane with the pipet tip. 
  • Wear powder-free gloves throughout the entire procedure.
Method:
  • Pipet 20 ul QIAGEN Protease into the bottom of a 1.5 ml microcentrifuge tube. 
  • Add 200 ul sample into the tube. 
  • Add 200 ul Buffer AL (with 6 ul of Internal control) to the sample. Mix by pulse-vortexing for 15 seconds. 
  • Incubate at 56 deg C for 10 min. 
  • Briefly centrifuge the tube to remove drops from the inside lid. 
  • Add 200 ul ethanol to the sample and mix again by pulse-vortexing for 15 seconds. Briefly centrifuge the tube to remove drops from the inside lid. 
  • Carefully apply mixture from step 6 to the QIAamp spin column, close the cap and centrifuge at 8,000 rpm for 1 min. Place the spin column in a clean 2 ml collection tube and discard the tube containing the filtrate. 
  • Carefully open the column and add 500 ul Buffer AW1 and centrifuge at 8000 rpm for 1 min. Place the spin column in a clean 2 ml collection tube and discard the tube containing the filtrate. 
  • Carefully open the spin column and add 500 ul Buffer AW2. Centrifuge at 14,000 rpm for 3 min. 
  • (Optional) Place the spin column in a new collection tube and centrifuge at 14,000 rpm for 1 min.
  • Place the spin column in a new 1.5 ml microcentrifuge tube and discard the collection tube containing the filtrate. Open the spin column and add 60 ul Buffer AE, incubate at room temperature for 5 min and then centrifuge at 8,000 rpm for 1 min. The filtrate now contains the DNA, ready for PCR
