A extraction buffer is supplied in the kit Please thaw the buffer thoroughly and spin down briefly in the centrifuge before use It s better to use commercial kits for nucleic acid extraction 9 1 1 Stool samples 1 Take about 50mg samples to a 1 5ml tube add 1 0ml normal saline then vortex vigorously Centrifuge the tube at 13000rpm for 2 minutes carefully remove and discard supernatant from the tube without disturbing the pellet 2 Add 100u1 DNA extraction buffer close the tube then resuspend the pellet with vortex vigorously Spin down briefly in a table centrifuge 3 Incubate the tube for 10 minutes at 100 C 4 Centrifuge the tube at 13000rpm for 5 minutes The supernatant contains the DNA extracted and can be used for PCR template 9 1 2 Water samples 1 Take 3 ml water to a tube Centrifuge the tube at 13000rpm for 2 minutes carefully remove and discard supernatant from the tube without disturbing the pellet 2 Add 100ul DNA extraction buffer close the tube then vortex for 10 seconds Spin down briefly in a table centrifuge 3 Incubate the tube for 10 minutes at 100 C 4 Centrifuge the tube at 13000rpm for 5 minutes The supernatant contains the DNA extracted and can be used for PCR template Attention A During the incubation make sure the tube is not open as the vapor will volatilize into the air and may cause contamination if the sample is positive B The extraction sample should be used in 3 hours or store at
