Protocol
|
Note: When the percentage of agarose in higher than 1 %, the units of agarase have to be adjusted in proportion. When using Tris-borate gel electrophoresis buffer, a two-fold amount of agarase should be used, otherwise, the incubation time has to be prolonged. 4. Carefully mix the solution and incubate for 1 hour at 42-45 °C. 5. Add 0.1 volume of 3 M sodium acetate, pH 5.5, to the melten agarose solution and incubate 15 min on ice. 6. Centrifuge for 15 minutes at 2-8 °C to pellet the oligosacchrides. 7. Precipitate the nucleic acids from the supernatant with 3 volume of ice-cold ethanol as usual.
