Introduction

The EZgeneTM Insect gDNA Kit is designed for efficient recovery of genomic DNA up to 60 kb in size from insects, arthropods, and some plant tissue samples rich in polysaccharides. The method is suitable for samples frozen or preserved in alcohol or DNE solution, and good results can be obtained with formalin preserved material. Samples are homogenized and lysed in a high salt buffer and extracted with chloroform to remove polysaccharides. Following a rapid alcohol precipitation step, binding conditions are adjusted and DNA further purified using ezBindTM DNA spin columns. In this way, salts, proteins and other contaminants are removed to yield high quality genomic DNA suitable for downstream applications such as endonuclease digestion, thermal cycle amplification, and hybridization techniques.

Storage and Stability

All components of the EZgeneTM Insect gDNA Kit, except the Proteinase K and RNase A should be stored at 22oC-25oC. Once reconstituted in water, Proteinase K should be stored -20oC. Under at these conditions, DNA has successfully been purified and used for PCR after 12 months of storage. Store RNase A at 4 oC. All EZgeneTM Insect gDNA Kit components are guaranteed for at least 12 months from the date of purchase when stored at 22oC-25oC

Binding Capacity

Each ezBindTM DNA column can bind approximately 100 μg DNA. Using greater than 30 mg tissue is not recommended.

Before Starting

Please read the entire booklet to become familiar with the EZgeneTM Insect gDNA Kit protocol.

Dilute DNA Wash Buffer Concentrate with absolute ethanol as follows and store at room temperature.

GD2413-00

Add 8 mL absolute (96%-100%) ethanol.

GD2413-01

Add 60 mL absolute (96%-100%) ethanol to each bottle.

GD2413-02

Add 96 mL absolute (96%-100%) ethanol to each bottle.

Prepare proteinase K stock solution as following:

GD2413-00

Add 110 μL Elution Buffer to the vial

GD2413-01

Add 1.3 mL Elution Buffer to the vial

GD2413-02

Add 1.3 mL Elution Buffer to each vial

Determination of DNA Quality and Quantity

Dilute a portion of the eluted material approximately 10-20 fold in DNA Elution Buffer or 10 mM Tris, pH 8.0. Measure absorbance at 280 nm and at 260 nm to determine the A260/ A280 ratio. Values of 1.7-1.9 generally indicate 85%-90% purity. The concentration of DNA eluted can be determined as follows:

Concentration = 50 μg/mL x Absorbance260 x {Dilution Factor}

Trouble Shooting Guide

Problem

Possible Cause

Suggestions

Clogged Column

Incomplete lysis

Increase incubation time with Buffer ITL / Proteinase K. An overnight incubation may be necessary.

Sample too large

Do not use greater than recommended amount of starting material. For larger samples, divide into multiple tubes.

Incomplete homogenization

Pulverize material as indicated in liquid nitrogen to obtain a fine powder.

Low DNA yield

Clogged column.

See above.

Poor elution

Repeat elution or increase elution volume. Incubate the column at 70 ℃ for 5 min before spin.

Poor binding to column

Follow protocol closely when adjusting binding conditions.

Improper washing

DNA Wash Buffer Concentrate must be diluted with ethanol before use.

Low 260A/A280 ratio

Extended centrifugation during elution step

Resin from the column may be present in eluate. Avoid centrifugation at speeds higher than specified. The material can be removed from the eluate by centrifugation-it will not interfere with PCR or restriction digests.

Poor cell lysis

Increase incubation time with Buffer ITL. An overnight incubation may be necessary.

Trace protein contaminants remain

Following step 8, wash column with a mixture of [300 μL Buffer BL + 300 μL ethanol] before proceeding to step 9.

No DNA eluted

Poor cell lysis.

Increase incubation time with Buffer ITL. An overnight incubation may be necessary.

Incomplete homogenization

Pulverize starting material as indicated in liquid nitrogen to obtain a fine powder.

Absolute ethanol not added before adding sample to column

Before applying DNA sample to column, add Buffer BL and absolute ethanol.

No ethanol added to DNA Wash Buffer Concentrate

Dilute Wash Buffer with the indicated volume of absolute ethanol before first use.
