This protocol is quick but also dirty. There should be considerable amounts of phenol in the final preparation. Do not use for E. coli transformation, the phenol kills the E.coli.

  • Glass beads (~150 µL)

  • 150 µL TE 10 X

  • 150 µL PCA (phenol : chloroform : isoamyl alcohol at proportion 25:24:1) (Plant lab)

  • 20 sec Fast Prep (or 5 min; max rpm; in the LGM disruptor)

  • Centrifuge 10 min 14 000 rpm

  • DNA is in the upper phase

  • Dilute 10x and check in the NANODROP

  • Use it as a template.
