The optimized buffer system enables the DNA in the lysate to specifically bind to the adsorbent membrane, and the inhibitor is effectively removed by a two-step rinsing step, and finally eluted with low-salt buffer or water to obtain high-purity DNA.Meanwhile, configured with a high-efficiency microsorbent column, the elution volume can be as low as 20 µL.The purified DNA can be directly used for PCR, Real-time PCR, SNP Genotyping, STR genotyping, second-generation sequencing and pharmacogenomics research.The molecular weight of DNA isolated from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded samples is usually lower than that of DNA from fresh or frozen samples.The degree of DNA fragmentation depends on the type of sample, the duration of storage, and the conditions of fixation.Self-contained reagent: anhydrous ethanolPre-experiment Preparation and Important Notes1. After obtaining the sample, fix the sample in 4%-10% formalin as soon as possible, the fixation time should be 14-24 hours, too long a period of time will easily lead to genome breakage, affecting the downstream experiments. If the formaldehyde fixation time is too long or the sample has been stored for too long (> 1 year), it will easily lead to DNA integrity damage and unable to amplify long fragments.2. Ensure that the sample is thoroughly dehydrated before embedding; residual formalin will inhibit Proteinase K.3. Anhydrous ethanol should be added to Buffer GW1 and Buffer GW2 according to the instructions on the label of the reagent bottle before first use.4. Before use, please check Buffer GTL, Buffer GL and Buffer DS for any crystallization or precipitation. If there is any crystallization or precipitation, please re-dissolve Buffer GTL, Buffer GL and Buffer DS at 56℃ in a water bath.5. Preheat the water bath or thermostatic mixer to 56°C and keep the centrifuge at 25°C before starting the experiment.6. If downstream experiments are needed to reduce the low frequency of C>T:G>A transitions (artificial mutations) that occur to minimize the risk of false positives, 7 µL of UNG (1 U/uL) can be added after 1 hour of incubation at 90°C.Operation steps1. Sample processing:1a. Paraffin-embedded samples: Trim off excess paraffin from the tissue block with a scalpel to expose the tissue and then cut into 5-10µm slices. Take about 1×1cm2 slices (about 4-5 slices in total) and place them in a centrifuge tube (provided), add 160µL Buffer DS, vortex and shake for 10 seconds, then add 180µL Buffer GTL and 20µL Proteinase K, vortex and shake for 10 seconds. centrifuge the samples at 12,000rpm for 1 minute at 25℃.Note: 1) If the surface of the sample has been exposed to air, discard the 2-3 pieces that have been exposed to air and do not use them.2) DS will solidify below 18°C, and if it does it does not affect the following experiments.1b. Sample in formalin and other fixative: take about 20mg of sample, cut it into small pieces, place it in a centrifuge tube, add 500µL of 10mM PBS (PH7.4), vortex shaking, centrifuge at 12,000rpm for 1minute, discard the supernatant, and repeat 3 times. Add 180 µL Buffer GTL, 20 µL Proteinase K, vortex shaking to mix.2.56°C for 1 hour until the sample is completely dissolved. incubate at 90°C for 1 hour. centrifuge at 12,000 rpm, 25°C for 1 minute, and carefully pipette the lower aqueous phase (~180 µL) along the wall of the tube into a new centrifuge tube, trying to avoid aspirating the bottom precipitate and the upper layer of the wax solution.Note: 1) Samples can be left at room temperature after incubation at 56°C until the temperature of the water or dry bath reaches 90°C before placing the samples at 90°CIncubation.2) Optional step: add 7µL UNG (1U/µL), 50°C, 5min, no shaking. The purpose of this step is to minimize the risk of false positives by reducing the low-frequency occurrence of C>T:G>A transitions (artificial mutations) while effectively retaining the true occurrence of mutations.3. Optional step: If you need to remove RNA, you can lower the temperature of the sample to room temperature, then add 2µL of RNase A solution at a concentration of 100mg/mL, shake and mix well, and leave it at room temperature for 2 minutes.4. Add 20µL Proteinase K and incubate at 65℃, 450rpm for 15min.5. Add 200 µL of Buffer GL, mix well by vortexing and shaking, then add 200 µL of anhydrous ethanol and mix thoroughly by vortexing and shaking. Centrifuge briefly so that the solution on the wall of the tube collects at the bottom of the tube.Note: 1) Mix well immediately after adding Buffer GL and anhydrous ethanol.2) The addition of Buffer GL and anhydrous ethanol may produce a white precipitate that will not affect subsequent experiments.3) If more than one sample needs to be manipulated, the Buffer GL and anhydrous ethanol can be pre-mixed and spiked.6. Add all the solution obtained in step 5 to the adsorption columns (Spin Columns DF) that have been loaded into the collection tube, centrifuge at 25℃, 12000rpm for 2 minutes, pour out the waste liquid in the collection tube, and put the adsorption columns back into the collection tube.7. Add 500µL of Buffer GW1 to the adsorption column (check that anhydrous ethanol has been added before use), centrifuge at 12,000rpm for 1 minute, pour off the waste liquid in the collection tube, and put the adsorption column back into the collection tube.8. Add 500µL of Buffer GW2 to the adsorption column (check that anhydrous ethanol has been added before use), centrifuge at 12000rpm for 1 minute, pour off the waste liquid in the collection tube, and put the adsorption column back into the collection tube.Note: Step 8 can be repeated if further DNA purity is required.9.12 Centrifuge at 2000 rpm for 2 minutes and pour off the waste liquid in the collection tube. Leave the adsorption column at room temperature for several minutes to dry thoroughly.Note: The purpose of this step is to remove residual ethanol from the adsorption column; ethanol residue can interfere with subsequent enzymatic reactions.10. Place the adsorption column in a new 1.5 mL collection tube, add 20-100 µL of Buffer TE or sterilized water to the middle of the adsorption column overhanging the column, let it stand at room temperature for 2-5 minutes, centrifuge it at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute, and collect the DNA solution.-20°C to preserve DNA.Note: 1) The pH value of the eluent has a great influence on the elution efficiency, if water is used as the eluent should ensure that its pH value is 7.0-8.5, the pH value is lower than 7.0 when the elution efficiency is not high.2) If the final concentration of DNA is to be increased, the DNA eluate obtained in step 10 can be re-spiked onto the adsorbent membrane and left at room temperature for 2 minutes and centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute...

The unique separation column is used for homogenization and filtration of high viscosity plant or fungal lysates, while the silicon matrix membrane is used to adsorb the RNA for purification, so that various contaminants, such as polysaccharides, are effectively removed by washing, and the eluted RNA can be directly used in various downstream experiments. The molecular weight of RNA extracted by this kit is more than 200 bases, with high purity and almost no DNA residue. For RNA experiments that are very sensitive to trace DNA, the residual DNA can be removed by digestion on a column using RNase-free DNase. The extracted RNA can be used in Northern Blot, Dot Blot, RT-PCR and in vitro translation experiments.Self-contained reagents: β-mercaptoethanol, anhydrous ethanol (freshly opened or for RNA extraction).Pre-experiment Preparation and Important Notes1. To prevent RNase contamination, attention should be paid to the following aspects:1) Use RNase-free plastics and tips to avoid cross-contamination.2) RNase-free water should be used to prepare the solution.(3) Operators wear disposable masks and gloves, and change gloves diligently during the experiment.2. To prevent RNase contamination, attention should be paid to the following aspects:1) Use RNase-free plastics and tips to avoid cross-contamination.(2) Glassware should be dry-roasted at 180°C for 4 hours before use, and plasticware can be soaked in 0.5M NaOH for 10 minutes, rinsed thoroughly with water and autoclaved.3) RNase-free water should be used to prepare the solution.(4) Operators wear disposable masks and gloves, and change gloves diligently during the experiment.3. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing of the extracted samples, otherwise it will affect the amount and quality of RNA extraction.4. Please add β-mercaptoethanol to Buffer RL before use, add 10µl of β-mercaptoethanol to 1ml of Buffer RL, it can be stored for 1 month at room temperature. Buffer RL with β-mercaptoethanol can be stored at room temperature for 1 month. β-mercaptoethanol is not required for use of Buffer RLC.5. Anhydrous ethanol should be added to Buffer RW2 before first use according to the instructions on the reagent bottle label.6. If precipitation occurs in Buffer RL and Buffer RLC, heat to dissolve and leave at room temperature.7. All centrifugation steps are carried out at room temperature and all steps are performed quickly. Procedure1. 50-100 mg of plant tissue is quickly ground to a powder in liquid nitrogen and added to 600 µl of Buffer RL (check for addition of β-mercaptoethanol before use) or Buffer RLC. vortexing and oscillating to allow for adequate lysis.Note: 1) The main component of Buffer RL is guanidine isothiocyanate, which is suitable for lysis of most plant tissues. However, in some plant tissues (e.g. endosperm of corn), due to the special secondary metabolites, guanidine isothiocyanate causes precipitation of the sample, resulting in poor RNA extraction, in this case, Buffer RLC can be added instead of Buffer RL.2) Incubation at 56°C for 1-3 minutes helps tissue lysis, but do not incubate at high temperatures for plants with high starch content.2. Transfer all the liquid obtained in step 1 to an adsorption column (Spin Columns FL) that has been loaded into a collection tube, centrifuge at 12,000 rpm (~13,400 x g) for 2 minutes, and transfer the supernatant from the collection tube to a new centrifuge tube (supplied).Note: 1) The tip of the tip of the gun can be cut off when aspirating liquids to facilitate sampling.2) Spin Columns FL removes most of the debris, but a small portion will still flow out and a precipitate will form in the collection tube after centrifugation, so be careful to avoid aspirating the precipitate when proceeding to the next step.3. Add 0.5 times the volume of anhydrous ethanol to the clean lysate obtained in step 2 and mix rapidly.Note: Precipitation may occur upon addition of ethanol, but does not affect subsequent tests.4. Transfer the solution obtained in the previous step to the Spin Columns RM in the collection tube. If it is not possible to add all of the solution to the column at one time, centrifuge the column at 12,000 rpm for 15 seconds in two batches, discard the waste solution and put the column back into the collection tube.5. Add 350 µl Buffer RW1 to the adsorbent column, centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 min, discard the waste liquid and put the adsorbent column back into the collection tube.6. Preparation of DNase I mixture: Take 52µl of RNase-Free Water, add 8µl of 10×Reaction Buffer and 20µl of DNase I (1U/µl) to it, mix well, and make a final volume of 80µl of reaction solution.7. Add 80µl of DNase I mixture directly to the adsorption column and incubate at 20-30°C for 15 minutes.8. Add 350 µl of Buffer RW1 to the adsorption column, centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute, discard the waste liquid and put the column back into the collection tube.9. Add 500 µl of Buffer RW2 to the column (check that anhydrous ethanol is added before use), centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 15 seconds, and discard the waste solution.10. Repeat step 9.11. Place the adsorbent column back into the collection tube, centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute, and allow the column to come to room temperature for a few minutes to thoroughly dry out the anhydrous ethanol in the adsorbent column.Note: The purpose of this step is to remove residual ethanol from the adsorption column; ethanol residue can interfere with subsequent enzymatic reactions (zymography, PCR, etc.).12. Load the adsorption column into a new centrifuge tube, add 30-50 µl of RNase-Free Water to the middle of the adsorbent membrane, leave it at room temperature for 1 minute, centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute, and store the resulting RNA solution at -70°C to prevent degradation.Note: 1) The volume of RNase-Free Water should not be less than 30 µl, too small volume affects the recovery rate.2) If you want to increase the RNA yield, repeat step 12 with 30-50 µl of fresh RNase-Free Water.3) If the RNA concentration is to be increased, the resulting solution can be reintroduced into the adsorption column and step 12 repeated...
