Bacterial culture

Protocol Overview

The kit can be used by following the manufacturer's protocol . Briefly 10 ml of bacterial culture is pelleted down and resuspended in 250 microliters of resuspension buffer. 250 microliters of lysis buffer is added and incubated for 5 minutes. Finally, 350 microliters of neutralization buffer is added and spun at 12000 rpm for 10 minutes. The supernatent is added to the spin column and spun for 1 minute . The column is washed with PE buffer and finally eluted with buffer.

Tips

Add RNAse in the resuspension buffer
