Clean-up of Labeled Genomic DNA
-Combine the 50ul of cyanine 5-labeled sample and 50ul of cyanine 3-labeled
Sample, get 100ul of mixture samples.
-Add 450μL of 1X TE (pH 8.0) to a Microcon YM-30 filter(the filter is into a 1.5-ml microfuge tube,supplied).
-load each labeled gDNA into the filter, mix well
-Spin 10 minutes at 12,000 × g in amicro centrifuge at room temperature. Discard the flow-through.
-Add 450μl of 1X TE (pH 8.0) to each filter. Spin for 11 minutes at 12,000 × g
in a microcentrifuge at room temperature. Discard the flow-through.
-Add 450 μl of 1X TE (pH 8.0) to each filter. Spin for 11 minutes at 12,000 × g
in a microcentrifuge at room temperature. Discard the flow-through.
-Invert the filter into a fresh 1.5-mL microfuge tube (supplied).
-Spin for 1minute at 12,000 × g in a microcentrifuge at room temperature to collect
purified sample.
-Measure and record volume (μl) of each eluate. If sample volume exceeds
40μL, return sample to its filter and spin 1 minute at 8,000 × g in a
microcentrifuge at room temperature. Discard the flow-through.
-Spin until each sample volume is ≤ 40μL.
-Bring total sample volume to 40μL with 1X TE (pH 8.0).
-Take 1.5μl of each sample to determine the yield and specific activity by
using the NanoDrop ND-1000 UV-VIS Spectrophotometer..
-Labeled DNA can be stored overnight at -20°C in the dark.
Preparation of Labeled Genomic DNA for Hybridization
-Prepare the 10X Blocking Agent:
a. Add 1350μl of nuclease-free water to the vial containing lyophilized 10X
Blocking Agent (supplied with Agilent Oligo aCGH Hybridization Kit).
b. Leave at room temperature for 60 minutes and mix on a vortex to
reconstitute sample before use or storage.
The 10X Blocking Agent can be prepared in advance and stored at -20°C.
