Abstract
Total nucleic acid extraction from wastewater using NucleoMag® DNA/RNA Water Kit (Macherey-Nagel)
Guidelines
When work is completed, remove equipment and supplies from the cabinet. Wipe the work area with 10% bleach, let stand for 10 min, rinse with water, then with 70% ethanol, and finally with RNAase AWAY.

Before start
1. Clean the working area and all equipment: wipe down with 10% bleach and let dry. Wipe down with 70% ethanol and let dry. Then, wipe down using RNase AWAY and let dry.
2. Prepare the 50% ethanol solution (it must be fresh!)
3. Prepare the 6 purification plates:
- Wash 1 plate: Add 100 μl of 50% ethanol and 900 μl of wash buffer (WBA) to each well required for purification.
- Wash 2 plate (same as plate Wash 1): Add 100 μl of 50% ethanol and 900 μl of wash buffer (WBA) to each well required for purification.
- Ethanol Wash plate: Add 450 μl of 50% ethanol to each well required for purification.
- Elution plate: Add 100 μl of 25 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0) to each well required for purification.
- Tip plate: Place KingFisher 96-tip comb into an empty KingFisher 96-well plate. While opening the 96-tip comb plate, pay attention to not touch the tips.
- Lysis and Bind plate: Add 35 μL of Resin to each well required for purification (vortex the bottle at max speed before use). Add 50 μl of Alkaline Protease Solution custom (APA) to each well required for purification. Add 250 μl of cell lysis solution (CLD) to each well required for purification. Add 400 μl of Isopropanol (100%) to each well required for purification.
Total nucleic acid extraction
2h
For HA filter extraction, let the sample thaw on ice and go to step 2.
For BCoV/BRSV extraction (in duplicate), add 5 µL of BCoV/BRSV solution to the 2-mL tube containing 500 µL MWA1. Vortex for 15 seconds (speed 7 out of 10) and flash freeze the tube. Go to step 4.
For Direct extraction, add 150 µL of wastewater to the 2-mL tube containing 100 µL CTAB. Vortex for 15 seconds (speed 7 out of 10) and flash freeze the tube. Go to step 4.
5m
For HA filter extraction, place the 2-mL tubes in the bead beater.
