STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE
STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE
The following protocol is modified from the Mag-Bind Blood & Tissue DNA HDQ 96 Kit Protocol (https://omegabiotek.com/product/tissue-and-blood-kit-genomic-dna-isolation-mag-bind-hdq-96/?cn-reloaded=1).

Modified portions are Bolded.
PREPARATION
PREPARATION
Before Starting: • Prepare SPM Buffer, VHB Buffer, and HDQ Binding Buffer according to the ”Preparing Reagents” section on Page 4 of the Mag-Bind Blood & Tissue DNA HDQ 96 Kit Protocol (https://omegabiotek.com/product/tissue-and-blood-kit-genomic-dna-isolation-mag-bind-hdq-96/?cn-reloaded=1). • Set heat block, incubator, or water bath to 56°C.
EXTRACTION
EXTRACTION
500
Prepare a mastermix of AL Buffer and Proteinase K Solution only for samples to be extracted according to the table below:

ComponentAmount to PrepTotal Amount per 96-well Plate
AL Buffer500 µL52.8 mL*
Proteinase K Solution40 µL4.2 mL*
* 10% excess volume has been calculated for a 96-well plate. Important: Only prepare as much AL Buffer/Proteinase K Solution mastermix that will be used within 4 hours of preparation.
Transfer filters into homogenization plate (Qiagen collection microtubes with 5mm stainless steel bead in each tube) with 500 uL TL buffer and 40 uL ProK
Bead beat for 2x45 seconds at 30 Hz on Qiagen Tissue Lyser II
 Incubate overnight at 56C
Add 5 uL RNase A to each sample
Spin at 4000 x g for 10 minutes
Transfer 200 uL lysate 2x into two KingFisher Deep Well plates filled with 230 uL AL buffer, pipette mix
 Add 320 uL HDQ binding buffer to both KingFisher Deep Well plates
Add 20 uL HDQ mag beads to one KingFisher Deep Well plate
Place the plate on a magnetic separation device to magnetize the Mag-Bind Particles HDQ. Let sit at room temperature until the Mag-Bind Particles HDQ are completely cleared from solution.
Aspirate and discard the cleared supernatant. Do not disturb the Mag-Bind Particles HDQ.
Repeat steps 25 & 25.1 with the second KingFisher Deep Well plate that did not include the HDQ mag beads
Remove the plate from the magnetic separation device.
Add 600 μL VHB Buffer.
Note: VHB Buffer must be diluted with 100% ethanol prior to use.
Vortex for 15 seconds to mix. Note: Complete resuspension of the Mag-Bind Particles HDQ is critical for obtaining good purity.
Place the plate on the magnetic separation device to magnetize the Mag-Bind Particles HDQ. Let sit at room temperature until the Mag-Bind Particles HDQ are completely cleared from solution.
Aspirate and discard the cleared supernatant. Do not disturb the Mag-Bind Particles HDQ.
Remove the plate from the magnetic separation device.
Repeat Steps 27-31 for a second VHB Buffer step.
Add 600 μL SPM Buffer. Note: SPM Buffer must be diluted with 100% ethanol prior to use.
Vortex for 15 seconds to mix.
Place the plate on the magnetic separation device to magnetize the Mag-Bind Particles HDQ. Let sit at room temperature until the Mag-Bind Particles HDQ are completely cleared from solution.
Aspirate and discard the cleared supernatant. Do not disturb the Mag-Bind Particles HDQ.
Select one of the following ethanol removal steps:
A. Leave the plate on the magnetic separation device. Add 500 µL nuclease-free water (not provided), leave on magnet for 20-30 seconds, and then aspirate. Do not leave nuclease-free water on Mag-Bind Particles HDQ for more than 60 seconds. Continue to Step 40. OR
B. Leave the plate on the magnetic separation device. Wait 1 minute. Remove residual liquid with a pipettor. Dry the Mag-Bind Particles HDQ for an additional 10 minutes. Continue to Step 40.
Remove the plate from the magnetic separation device.
Add 100 μL Elution Buffer to elute DNA from the Mag-Bind Particles HDQ. Note: Heat Elution Buffer or nuclease-free water to 70°C to improve yield.
Vortex for 5 minutes to mix. Note: If constant vortexing for 5 minutes is not possible, vortex for 15 seconds every 1-2 minutes for 5 minutes.
Place the plate on the magnetic separation device to magnetize the Mag-Bind Particles HDQ. Let sit at room temperature until the Mag-Bind Particles HDQ are completely cleared from solution.
Transfer the cleared supernatant containing purified DNA to a 96-well microplate (not provided). Store DNA at -20°C.
