Boiling Plasmid Miniprep
- Spin down 1.5 ml freshly saturated culture in microfuge, decant supernatant
- Resuspend cells by vortexing in 300 µl STET
- Add 20 µl of 50 mM Tris pH 8.0 that contains 10 mg/ml lysozyme
- Mix and incubate at room temperature, 0.5-10 min.
- Place in boiling water bath, 2 min
- Spin in microfuge (14,000 rpm), 5 min
- Scoop out and discard "snot" with a toothpick
- Add 325 µl of 75% isopropanol with 2.5 M NH4OAc
- Mix and microfuge, 5 min
- Discard supernatant
- Rinse pellet wih 70% EtOH (pellet is spread over wall of tube)
- Mix and microfuge, 5 min
- Carefully draw off most (~95%) supernatant leaving pellet in bottom of tube
- Lyophilize, 5-10 min
- Resuspend in 50 µl TE with RNase
One tube, clean high yield plasmid DNA prep with no phenol
