Miniprep protocol using a QIAGEN kit
  • centrifuge an overnight culture of cells 10min at 4krpm
  • throw the filtrate
  • resuspend the pellet in 250μL of Cell Resuspension Solution then mix it
  • transfer it in a 1.5mL microcentrifuge tube
  • add 250mL of Cell lysis solution and mix by inverting several times
  • incube until the liquid is clear, maximum 5min
  • add 10μL of Alkalyne protease solution, mix by inverting several times and incube 3 to 4 min
  • add 350μL of Neutralisation Solution and mix by inverting several times
  • centrifuge 10min at 14krpm
  • add the supernatant in a column
  • centrifuge 1min, 14krpm, then throw the filtrat
  • add 750μL Washing Solution
  • centrifuge 1min, 14krpm, then throw the filtrat
  • add 250μL Washing Solution
  • centrifuge 2min, 14krpm, then throw the filtrat
  • centrifuge 1min, 14krpm
  • transfer the column in a sterile microcentrifuge 1.5ml tube
  • add 50μL of DNAse/RNAse free water right on the membrane of the filter, wait 1min
  • centrifuge 1min, 14krpm
  • throw the column, plasmid is saved in water
