3. e The amount of DNA contamination is significantly reduced by binding DNA in crude lysate to the 1st mini column e On column DNase I digestion will remove DNA that goes onto 2nd mini column However residual DNA may still be present due the amount and nature of the starting material Therefore in very sensitive applications it might be possible to detect DNA The potential for DNA contamination detection by PCR increases with e the number of DNA copies per preparation single copy target lt plastidial mitochondrial target lt plasmid transfected into cells e decreasing PCR amplicon size use larger PCR targets e g gt 500 bp or intron spanning primers if possible 51 Problem Suboptimal performance of RNA in downstream experiments Possible cause Suggestions Carry over of Ethanol e Do not let the flowthrough touch the or salt column outlet after the wash with Wash buffer type 6 Be sure to centrifuge at the corresponding speed for the respective time in order to remove ethanolic buffer Wash buffer type 6 completely e Check if Wash buffer type 6 has been equilibrated to room temperature before use Washing at lower temperatures lowers efficiency of salt removal by Wash buffer type 6 Store isolated RNA e Eluted RNA should always be kept on properly ice for optimal stability since trace contaminations of omnipresent RNases will degrade the isolated RNA For storage freeze at 80 C Problem Protein p
