Two different methods, column purification (step 6) or magnetic bead purification (step 7), were employed to purify the manually extracted DNA.
Column purification (47014, QIAGEN)


Load DNA sample onto an MB Spin Column and centrifuge at Centrifigation15.000 x g for Duration00:01:00 .
1m
Centrifigation
Discard the flow-through and repeat step 6.1 to ensure that all of the lysate has passed through the MB Spin Column.


Carefully place the MB Spin Column into a clean 2 ml Collection Tube. Avoid splashing any flow-through onto the MB Spin Column.

Add Amount500 µL of Solution EA to the MB Spin Column. Centrifuge at Centrifigation15.000 x g forDuration00:01:00 .

1m
Centrifigation
Discard the flow-through and place the MB Spin Column back into the same 2 ml Collection Tube.

AddAmount500 µL of Solution C5 to the MB Spin Column. Centrifuge at Centrifigation15.000 x g for Duration00:01:00 .
1m
Centrifigation
Discard the flow-through and place the MB Spin Column into a new 2 ml Collection Tube.

Centrifuge at up to Centrifigation16.000 x g for Duration00:02:00 . Carefully place the MB Spin Column into a new 1.5 ml Elution Tube.

2m
Add Amount100 µL of Solution C6 to the center of the white filter membrane.

Centrifuge at Centrifigation15.000 x g forDuration00:01:00 . Discard the MB Spin Column.

Magnetic bead purification (N411-03, Vazyme)

Mix the DNA Clean Beads thoroughly. Add of 2X volume of DNA Clean Beads to each sample tube. Mix with a vortexer until all beads are suspended.
Incubate at TemperatureRoom temperature forDuration00:05:00 .

5m
Centrifuge the tube(s) briefly and place on the magnetic rack forDuration00:05:00 until the liquid is clear. Carefully remove and discard the supernatant.
5m
While keeping the tube(s) on the magnetic rack, add Amount500 µL of 80% ethanol to each tube to wash the beads and tube wall. Wait forDuration00:00:30 . Carefully remove and discard the supernatant.
30s
Repeat step7.4. Try to remove all liquid from the tube. If some liquid remains on the tube wall, centrifuge the tube briefly and place it on the magnetic rack for separation. Remove all liquid by using a low-volume pipette.
Keep the tube(s) on the magnetic rack. Open the tube cap and air-dry the beads at room temperature until no wetness or glossiness is visible on the beads' surface. There should be no visible cracking on the surface of the beads.
Remove the tube(s) from the magnetic rack and add Amount50 µL of TE Buffer to elute the DNA. Mix with a vortexer until all beads are suspended.
Incubate at TemperatureRoom temperature forDuration00:05:00 .

Incubation
Centrifuge the tube briefly and place on the magnetic rack for Duration00:05:00 until the liquid is clear. Carefully transfer Amount48 µL of supernatant to a new 1.5 mL centrifuge tube.
