ArrayGrade™ cRNA Cleanup Kit  Enough reagents and tubes for 12 cRNA purifications
 
Description
The ArrayGrade™ cRNA Cleanup Kit is designed to purify labeled cRNA from other reaction components following the TrueLabeling-AMP™ protocol. The special silica membrane Spin Column technology used in the kit makes the procedure fast and easy to perform with less than 30 minutes hands-on-time at room temperature. The Binding Buffer with its chaotropic components stabilizes and prevents degradation of the cRNA and allows optimal retention of the cRNA on the spin column. The Washing Buffer removes salts, metabolites, and macromolecular cellular components. Low ionic strength conditions elute pure cRNA from the column for hybridization to the microarray of your choice.

Brief Protocol: For Experienced Users
First time users, please refer to the complete protocol in the TrueLabeling-AMP 2.0 User Manual.
  1. Bring the cRNA sample to a final volume of 100 µl with RNase-free H2O in a 1.5-ml RNase-free tube. Store on ice.
  2. Add 350 µl Lysis & Binding Buffer (G6) to each sample. Mix well but gently with a pipettor.
  3. Add 350 µl of room temperature ACS-Grade 100% ethanol. Mix well but gently with a pipettor.
  4. Load each sample onto the center of separate Spin Columns.
  5. Insert Spin Column into Collection Tube. Centrifuge for ~ 30 sec at 8,000 x g.
  6. Remove column from the tube, discard the flow-through, and put the column back into the tube.
  7. Apply 600 µl washing buffer (G17 + ethanol) to each spin column. Centrifuge for ~ 30sec at 8,000 x g. Be sure that all of the wash passes through the filter. Repeat spin if necessary.
  8. Remove column from the tube, discard the flow-through, and put the column back into the tube.
  9. Apply another 200 µl washing buffer (G17 + ethanol) to each spin column. Centrifuge for ~ 3 min at 11,000 x g.  Be sure that all of the wash passes through the filter. Repeat spin if necessary.
  10. Transfer each Spin Column to a fresh Elution Tube.
    Be sure that the tip of the column never touches the flow-through material.
  11. To the center of each spin column, add 50 µl of room temperature RNase-free 10 mM Tris pH 8.0 (G26).
    NOTE: Be sure to visually inspect the column to insure that the buffer is centered.
    Tap the column gently if necessary to move the water to the center.
  12. Incubate at room temperature for 2 min. Centrifuge for ~ 1 min at 8000 x g.
    Be sure that all of the wash passes through the filter. Repeat spin if necessary.
    Store at -20 ºC for two to four days or at -80 ºC for up to six months or longer.
