After the protein and inhibitor removal steps, total genomic DNA is captured on the MO BIO Laboratories silica spin column. High quality DNA is then washed and eluted from the spin column membrane for use in downstream applications including PCR and qPCR.
Disposable filter funnels, containing 0.22 µm or 0.45 µm filter membranes, can be ordered from MO BIO Laboratories (see page 3). The volume of water filtered will depend on the microbial load and turbidity of the water sample. (Please see Types of Water Samples in the Hints and Troubleshooting Guide section of the Instruction Manual).

18. Shake to mix Solution PW4 before use. Add 650 µl of Solution PW4 and centrifuge at 13,000 x g for 1 minute. 19. Discard the flow through and add 650 µl of Solution PW5 and centrifuge at 13,000 x g for 1 minute.

homogenization by holding the tubes equal distance and angle from the center of rotation. Avoid using tape, which can become loose and result in reduced homogenization efficiency. 8. Centrifuge the tubes ≤ 4000 x g for 1 minute at room temperature. The speed will depend on the capability of your centrifuge.

What’s happening: The DNA is selectively bound to the silica membrane in the Spin Filter basket and the flow through containing non-DNA components is discarded. 17. Place the Spin Filter basket into a clean 2 ml Collection Tube (provided). What’s happening: Due to the high concentration of salt in solution PW3, it is important to place the Spin Filter basket into a clean 2 ml Collection Tube to aid in the subsequent wash steps and improve the DNA purity and yield.
Vacuum Protocol using the PowerVac™ Manifold Please wear gloves at all times For each sample lysate, use one Spin Filter column. Keep the Spin Filter in the attached 2 ml Collection Tube and continue using the Collection Tube as a Spin Filter holder until needed for the Vacuum Manifold Protocol.

9. Transfer the Spin Filter column to a new 2 ml Collection Tube and add 100 l of Solution PW6 to the center of the white filter membrane. Alternatively, sterile DNA-Free PCR Grade Water may be used for elution from the silica Spin Filter membrane at this step (MO BIO Catalog# 17000-10). 10.
(0.22 micron). Use of 0.45 micron filters is recommended for theses types of samples. MO BIO Laboratories offers disposable filter funnels containing membranes of either 0.22 micron or 0.45 micron pore sizes (See page 3 for ordering information).
