DNA SampleMatrix^® Protocol - Now Available as QIAsafe™

Protocol

Objective: Preserve plasmid and genomic DNA.

Storage:

1. Open tube or remove seal from plate
2. Add 1-20μl of DNA to tube or well (from picograms up to 30μg)
3. Dry samples completely at room temperature

   • Overnight on the bench-top or in laminar flow hood
   • Faster drying times can be achieved using a vacuum (refer to Biomatrica drying guidelines)

4. Store dried samples in an airtight container at room temperature.

   •For optimal results dry samples should be sealed with an ambient humidity of less than
     50%.
   

Sample Recovery:

1. Add 10-50 μl of water tube or well
2. Hydrate for 15 minutes, mixing not necessary
3. Use directly in downstream application
4. Sample can be re-dried to preserve remaining DNA. Refer to storage steps 2&3.
