DNA extraction using HotShot

Mixing the buffers

Alkaline Buffer (= 25 mM NaOH + 0.2 mM disodium EDTA)

  1. Premix 10M NaOH:
    • 70 ml H₂O + 40g NaOH and adjust to 100 ml
    or
    • 17.5 ml H₂O + 10g NaOH and adjust to 25 ml
  2. To 25 ml of H₂O add:
    • 62.5 μl of 10M NaOH
    • 10 μl of 0.5 M disodium EDTA


Neutralizing Buffer (40 mM trisHCl)

Mix the following:

  • 24 ml of H₂O
  • 1 ml of 1M trisHCl


How to use the buffers to extract DNA

  • 10–15 μl of alkaline buffer + specimen
  • Incubate at 65°C for 18 mins + 98°C for 2 mins
  • Add the same amount of neutralizing buffer
