-
grow up single colony in 1.5 ml LB/antibiotic ovn @37°C
-
pour into tube, spin for 30 sec
-
decant supernatant and resuspend pellet in 100 ml lysis solution
-
add 200 ml alkaline SDS, vortex well
-
incubate for 5 min on ice
-
add 150 ml high salt solution, vortex well
-
incubate for ca. 10 min on ice
-
spin for 10 min
-
remove 400 ml supernatant and transfer to new tube prefilled with 400 ml isopropanole
-
vortex well and keep tube on ice for 10 min
-
spin for 10 min
-
wash pellet with 70% EtOH
-
vacuum dry pellet for 5 min and take up in 100 ml 1x TE/20 mg/ml RNAse A
-
usually 1-2 ml is enough for digest (high-copy plasmid), keep DNA frozen at -20°C
-
phenolize important preps if to be kept for a longer period of time (more than 4-6 months)

lysis solution:
(freshly prepared)
7.55 ml H2O
2 ml 50% glucose
0.2 ml 0.5 M EDTA
0.25 ml 1 M Tris-HCl pH 8
------
10 ml total |

alkaline SDS:
(stable for 1 week)
7.6 ml H2O
2 ml 5% SDS

Remarks:
Even if kept at -20° C DNA from this quality will degrade over a period of a year or so when not phenolized carefully (ca. 3 x)! Take care that no interphase remains.
