I used Qiagen plasmid plus Maxiprep kit to purify my construct. And I was asked to do a second precipitation after the elution step in order to further remove the salt contamination. I use -20C isoproponal centrifuge at room temp for 30 min, 15000xg, then wash with 70% ethanol, and resuspend the DNA in EB buffer. I did not see the precipitation at the bottom of the 2ml tube after the 30 min, a senior phd student told me that sometimes even one can not see the precipitation one will still get some DNA. he suggested me to incubate the DNA with EB buffer on a shaker (37ç, 300 rpm) for 3 hours... I never heard this before but I still followed his words. However, when I do the nanodrop to quantify my DNA, I got almost nothing... I have to do all the maxiprep again (10 Maxiprep...), OMG!!!!! what do you experts think will be the reason? really need help!!!!

in most cases, you can see the precipitate from IPP centrifugation. precipitate may be invisible from 70% EtOH precipitate though

The bacteria may be over grow, try to pick up a new colony.

“a second precipitation after the elution step in order to further remove the salt contamination” is it really necessary?

The bacteria may be over grow?? 可是我之前测了od值的,挺好的0.8ug每ul,在这个further precipitation之后就什么 dna都测不到了。。。

这个construct之后要包装成病毒,所以需要remove the salt contamination,另一个 实验室在等着我的maxiprep,但是我现在都不敢用isopropanol的,我觉得问题可能出 在-20C 的 IPP上,本来我的volume就小,可以用room temp几分钟的。。。

没太看明白你的过程,second precipitation? max prep柱子洗脱之后,你是如何洗脱的? 你这时测了od? 0.8ug/ul, 然后isopropanol沉淀?这是第一步沉淀?

you need more salt to precipitate DNA. besides, never throw away the supernatant after maxiprep or precipitating DNA, until you are sure you get what you want. just my 2cents.
