Introduction
LaboPass TM Blood Mini Kit provides a fast and convenient method for theisolation of total DNA from up to 400μLof fresh and frozen mammalian wholeblood. It takes about 20 minutes to complete all processing of samples. The
purified DNA using this kit is ready for applications such as PCR, Southernblotting, and restriction enzyme assay. The LaboPass TM Blood Mini Plus Kit
also provides additional preparation of animal tissue or other samples.

Storage Conditions
All components of LaboPass TM Blood Mini Kit, except Proteinase K solution,
should be stored in room temperature. (15-25℃) Proteinase K solution(20mg/ml) can be stored for 2 months at 4℃ without any decrease in activity. Butstorage at -20℃ with usable aliquots is recommended for prolonged
preservation. Under cool ambient conditions, a precipitate may form in buffer
BL. In such a case, heat the bottle at 55℃ to dissolve.
LaboPass TM Blood Mini Kit is guaranteed for 1 year after delivered to an enduser.

General Information
The yield of purified DNA depends on the number of cells in the sample.
200μL starting blood volume will yield 4 – 12 μg of DNA. Preparation of buffy
coat is recommended if higher yield is required. An average of 6μg of total
DNA from 200μL of whole human blood, and up to 30μg of DNA from 200μL ofbuffy coat, or 5 x 10 6 lymphocytes or cultured cells can be purified. DNA andRNA will be copurified unless RNase is treated. RNA may inhibit somedownstream enzymatic reactions, but not PCR itself. If RNA-free DNA isrequired, RNase should be treated before addition of Buffer BL. DNA purified
by the LaboPass TM Blood procedure is free of protein and other contaminants,
which may inhibit PCR or other enzymatic reactions. DNA can be used
immediately or safety stored in Buffer AE at -20℃ for later use.

Protocols for whole blood and body fluid
Before experiment- Prepare the water bath to 56℃- Prepare absolute ethanol- If a precipitate has formed in buffer BL, heat to dissolve at 60℃.
- Equilibrate buffer AE to room temperature- Add appropriate volume of absolute ethanol to Buffer BW and NW before first use.
- All centrifugation should be performed at room temperature.

1. Pipette 20μL of Proteinase K solution (20 mg/ml) into the bottomof a 1.5 ml tube.
If the sample volume is larger than 200μL (up to 400μL, increase the amountof Proteinase K proportionally. For 400μL of whole blood, 40μL of Proteinase
K solution is needed.

2. Transfer 200μL of whole blood, plasma, serum, buffy coat, orbody fluids, or up to 5 x 106 lymphocytes in 200μL PBS.
If the sample volume is less than 200μL adjust the volume to 200μL with PBS.
If RNA-free DNA is required, add 4μL of RNase (100 mg/ml, not provided) tothe sample at this step.

3. Add 200μL of Buffer BL to the tube. Vortex the tube to mix
thoroughly.
If the sample volume is larger than 200μL increase the volume of buffer BL inproportion.

4. Incubate at 56℃ for 10 min.
Longer incubation will not affect DNA recovery.

5. Spin down briefly to remove any drops from inside of the lid.
6. Add 200μL of absolute ethanol (not provided) to the sample,
Pulsevortex to mix the sample thoroughly, and spin down briefly toremove any drops from inside of the lid.
If the sample volume is larger than 200μL increase the buffer BL volumeproportionally.

7. Transfer the mixture to the spin column carefully, centrifuge for 1
min at 6,000 xg above (>8,000 rpm), and replace the collection tube
with new one. (provided)
If more than 200μL of sample is processed, apply the mixture twice; apply 700
μL of the mixture, spin down, discard the flow-through, re-insert empty
collection tube, and repeat the steps again until all of the mixture has applied
to the spin column.
If the mixture has not passed completely through the membrane, centrifuge
again at full speed until all of the solution has passed through. Centrifuge at
maximum speed will not affect the DNA recovery.

8. Add 700μL of Buffer BW, centrifuge for 1 min. at 6,000 xg above(>8,000 rpm), and replace the collection tube with new one.
(provided)
Though the larger sample than 200μL there is no need to increase the volumeof Buffer BW and NW.

9. Add 500μL of Buffer NW, centrifuge for 3 min. at 14,000 xg (fullspeed), place the spin column in a clean 1.5 ml tube. (not provided)
Care must be taken at this step for eliminating the remnants of Buffer NW. Ifcarryover of buffer NW occurs, centrifuge again for 1 min at full speed with theempty collection tube (not provided) before transferring to a new 1.5 ml tube.

10. Add 200μL of Buffer AE or distilled water. Incubate for 2 min atroom temperature. Centrifuge at 6,000 xg above (>8,000 rpm) for 1min.
Ensure that the buffer AE or distilled water is dispensed directly onto thecenter of spin column membrane for optimal elution of DNA. If higher
concentration of eluate is needed or starting volume of blood sample is very
low, elution volume can be decreased to 50μL –100μL However, the small
volume of elution buffer will decrease the total amount of DNA recovery. For
long-term storage, eluting in buffer AE is recommended. But, EDTA included in
the buffer AE may inhibit subsequent enzymatic reactions, so you can avoid
such latent problems by using distilled water (>pH7.0) or Tris-Cl (>pH8.5).
When using water for elution, check the pH of water before elution.

Protocols for Cultured Animal Cells
Before experiment- Prepare the water bath to 56℃- Prepare absolute ethanol- If a precipitate has formed in buffer BL, heat to dissolve at 60℃.
- Equilibrate buffer AE to room temperature- Add appropriate volume of absolute ethanol to Buffer BW and NW before first use.
- All centrifugation should be performed at room temperature.

* Washing cells with sufficient volume of PBS before protocols usually brings about
better results.

1. Harvest cells (up to 5x10 cells) to a 1.5 ml microcentrifuge tube
and spin down at 14,000 xg for 10 seconds.
Alternatively, cells can be pelleted at 500 xg for 5 minutes. For adherent cells,trypsinize the cells before harvesting.

2. Discard supernatant and resuspend cell pellet in PBS to a final
volume of 200μL
3. Add 20μL of Proteinase K solution and vortex briefly.
4. Add 200μL of Buffer BL to the tube. Vortex the tube to mix
thoroughly.
If the sample volume is larger than 200μL increase the volume of buffer BL inproportion.

5. Incubate at 56℃ for 10 min.
Longer incubation will not affect DNA recovery.

6. Optional: If RNA-free DNA is required, add 4μL of RNase solution(100 mg/ml, not provided), vortex to mix thoroughly, and incubate
for 2 min at room temperature.
7. Continue with Blood protocols from step 5.

Protocols for Animal Tissue (Optional! It needs the BufferRL.)
Before experiment- Prepare the 56℃ and 70℃ water bath
- Prepare absolute ethanol- If a precipitate has formed in buffer BL, heat to dissolve at 60℃.
- Equilibrate buffer AE to room temperature- Add appropriate volume of absolute ethanol to Buffer BW and NW before first use- All centrifugation should be performed at room temperature

1. Homogenize up to 20 mg of tissue as described in step 1A, 1B, or
1C.
For spleen tissue, up to 10 mg can be processed per prep. If the sample islarger than 20 mg (if spleen, 10 mg), increase the volume of buffer AL
proportionally. For 40 mg of liver tissue, 360μL of buffer AL is required.

1A. For soft tissue, such as liver or brain, put the tissue into 1.5 ml
tube, add 180μL of Buffer AL, and homogenize thoroughly withmicrohomogenizer.
1B. If microhomogenizer is not available or the tissue is not soft,grind the tissue to a fine powder with liquid nitrogen in a pre-cooledmortar and pestle. Put the powdered tissue into 1.5 ml tube. Add
180μL of Buffer AL and pulse-vortex for 15 seconds.
1C. If neither 1A nor 1B is available, mince the tissue with sharp
blade as small as possible. Put the tissue into a 1.5 ml tube. Add
180μL of Buffer AL and pulse-vortex for 15 seconds.
2. Add 20μL of Proteinase K solution. Mix by vortexing. Incubate at56℃ until the tissue is completely lysed.
If the sample is larger than 20 mg, increase the amount of Proteinase K inproportion. For 40 mg of liver tissue, 40μL of Proteinase K solution is required.
Lysis time varies from 10 min to 3 hours depending on the type of tissue
processed and the lysis method used. After complete lysis, the mixture should
become semitransparent without any particles. Overnight lysis does not
influence the preparation. If the sample is lysed in water bath or heating block,vortex occasionally (2-3 times per hour) during incubation to lysis readily.
Lysis in shaking water bath, shaking incubator or agitator is best for
efficient lysis.
