Product overview

High-throughput purification of DNA from soil: NucleoSpin 8/96 Soil

Soil samples contain different amounts of organic matter and inorganic material (humic substances or polysaccharides) and exhibit different pHs, all of which can hinder the consistency of DNA extraction from these sample types. The NucleoSpin 8/96 Soil kits overcome these obstacles through the use of highly optimized lysis conditions and mechanical disruption. Using these kits with 500 mg of soil as a starting material typically yields 2–10 µg of eluted genomic DNA that is ready to use for downstream applications such as PCR, qPCR, restriction analysis, etc.

  • Alternative lysis buffers and additional Enhancer SX enable optimization of the protocol to maximize yields from soil samples of different compositions
  • MN Bead Tubes Type A (ceramic beads) facilitate more efficient lysis of soil microorganisms and reduce risk of cross-contamination
  • NucleoSpin Inhibitor Removal Strips/Plate allow for elimination of all PCR inhibitors, such as humic substances

DNA isolation from soil

DNA isolation from Alaska Gelisol (active)DNA isolation from Alaska Gelisol (permafrost)

Figure 1. DNA isolation from Alaskan gelisol. Bacterial genome copy numbers were determined for DNA that was extracted from 250-mg soil samples derived from active (Panel A) and permafrost (Panel B) layers of Alaska gelisol using the NucleoSpin kit in comparison with a competitor kit from Mo Bio. Far more bacterial DNA was extracted with the NucleoSpin kit using the combination of Buffer S1 and Buffer SX than with the competitor kit. (Data provided by customers.)

Bacterial genome copy numbers were determined for DNA that was extracted from 250-mg (Panel A) and 500-mg (Panel B) samples of spruce peat using the NucleoSpin kit in comparison with a competitor kit from Mo Bio. Far more bacterial DNA was extracted with the NucleoSpin kit using Buffer S1 (with or without Buffer SX) than with the competitor kit. (Data provided by customers.)

Figure 3. Automated DNA extraction from soil on the epMotion 5075 VAC. DNA was extracted from 500-mg inputs of soil on the epMotion 5075 liquid-handling system using each possible lysis buffer combination provided with the NucleoSpin 96 Soil kit. For this sample type, the highest yield of high molecular weight DNA was observed for the SL2 + SX Buffer combination (Panels A and B). No PCR inhibition was observed when 2-µl volumes of eluate from each preparation were used as templates (Panel C).

Protocol  

NucleoSpin 8/96 Soil procedure

Figure 4. Protocol overviews for NucleoSpin 8 Soil and NucleoSpin 96 Soil. NucleoSpin 8 Soil allows for processing of 48 samples (6 strips) in approximately 150 min, whereas NucleoSpin 96 Soil enables processing of 96 samples (1 plate) in the same amount of time. Both kits can be used with vacuum- or centrifuge-based processing and are compatible with manual or automated workflows.

Required hardware  

Centrifugation: Centrifuge-based processing of NucleoSpin 8/96 Soil kits requires a microtiter plate centrifuge which is able to accommodate the NucleoSpin Soil Strips/Plate stacked on a round- or square-well block or rack with tube strips. The centrifuge must be able to reach an acceleration of 5,600–6,000g (bucket height: 85 mm). Centrifuge-based processing of 8-well strips requires the reusable Starter Set C, which contains Column Holders C, NucleoSpin Dummy Strips, MN Square-well Blocks, and Tube Strips.

Vacuum processing: The NucleoSpin 8/96 Soil kits also allow for manual processing with the NucleoVac 96 Vacuum Manifold. Additionally, a suitable centrifuge for sample preparation steps may be required. Vacuum processing of 8-well strips and automation on laboratory platforms with standard 96-well plate vacuum chambers require the reusable Starter Set A, which contains Column Holders A and Dummy Strips.

NucleoSpin Tissue purification in less than 1 hour

NucleoSpin Tissue purification in less than 1 hour

NucleoSpin Tissue purification in less than 1 hour. Mouse or rat tail sections, whole tissue, or cultured cells are incubated with lysis buffer and Proteinase K—no further extraction is necessary. After spinning down the lysis mixture, the clear lysates are transferred to the columns and centrifuged to bind the DNA to the column. This is followed by removal of the cellular contaminants with the provided wash buffers, and elution of the purified genomic DNA. No alcohol precipitation is required. The resulting DNA preparation is suitable for PCR, Southern blotting, or any enzymatic reaction. Panel A. NucleoSpin 8 Tissue Kit. Panel B. NucleoSpin 96 Tissue Kit.
