Important Notes:
Problems |
Possible reasons |
Solutions |
Low or no yield of genomic DNA |
||
Incorrect preparation of Wash Buffer 1 or Wash Buffer 2 |
||
|
Wash Buffer 1 and Wash Buffer 2 is not mixed with ethanol before use |
Make sure that the correct volumes of ethanol (96- 100 %) is added into Wash Buffer 1 and Wash Buffer 2 when first open. Repeat the extraction procedure with a new sample. |
The volume or the percentage of ethanol is not correct before adding into Wash Buffer 1 and Wash Buffer 2 |
Make sure that the correct volumes of ethanol (96- 100 %) is added into Wash Buffer 1 and Wash Buffer 2 when first use. Repeat the extraction procedure with a new sample. |
|
Elution of genomic DNA is not efficient |
||
|
RNase-free water not completely absorbed by column membrane |
After RNase-free water is added, stand the VNE Column for 2 min before centrifugation. |
Column is clogged |
||
|
Sample is too viscous |
Reduce the sample volume. |
Degradation of eluted DNA |
||
|
Sample is old |
Always use fresh or well-stored sample viral nucleic acid extraction. |
