chapter 4 | 96-Well Plate Protocol 77<br />

• The PCR reactions contain significant contaminants including<br />

EDTA. These contaminants can affect subsequent steps unless<br />

removed by washing. Therefore, be sure to perform three water<br />

washes.<br />

• After the third wash, the wells must be completely dry before eluting<br />

the samples with RB Buffer. Any extra water carried with the<br />

RB Buffer to the next stage can result in over-fragmentation.<br />

• Immediately upon removal from the manifold, blot the bottom of<br />

the plate and wipe the bottom of each well. Any remaining liquid<br />

will quickly seep back into the wells.<br />

PREPARE THE REAGENTS, CONSUMABLES AND OTHER COMPONENTS<br />

Prepare the PCR Product Plates<br />

To prepare the PCR Product Plates from the previous stage:<br />

1. Place the three PCR product plates on the bench top in plate<br />

holders.<br />

If frozen, allow them to thaw to room temperature.<br />

2. Once at room temperature, vortex the center of each plate at high<br />

speed for 3 sec.<br />

3. Spin down each plate at 2000 rpm for 30 sec.<br />

Dilute the Working Solution of EDTA<br />

Dilute the working stock of EDTA to a concentration of 0.1 M. A<br />

higher concentration may interfere with downstream steps.<br />

Setup the Manifold<br />

To set up the manifold:<br />

1. Connect the manifold and regulator to a suitable vacuum source<br />

able to maintain 600 mbar.<br />

2. Place the waste tray inside the base of the manifold.<br />

Do not turn on the vacuum at this time.
