Clean-up of Labeled Genomic DNA -Combine the 50ul of cyanine 5-labeled sample and 50ul of cyanine 3-labeled Sample, get 100ul of mixture samples. -Add 450μL of 1X TE (pH 8.0) to a Microcon YM-30 filter (the filter is into a 1.5-ml microfuge tube, supplied). -load each labeled gDNA into the filter, mix well -Spin 10 minutes at 12,000 × g in a micro centrifuge at room temperature. Discard the flow-through. -Add 450μl of 1X TE (pH 8.0) to each filter. Spin for 11 minutes at 12,000 × g in a microcentrifuge at room temperature. Discard the flow-through. -Add 450 μl of 1X TE (pH 8.0) to each filter. Spin for 11 minutes at 12,000 × g in a microcentrifuge at room temperature. Discard the flow-through. -Invert the filter into a fresh 1.5-mL microfuge tube (supplied). -Spin for 1minute at 12,000 × g in a microcentrifuge at room temperature to collect purified sample. -Measure and record volume (μl) of each eluate. If sample volume exceeds 40μL, return sample to its filter and spin 1 minute at 8,000 × g in a microcentrifuge at room temperature. Discard the flow-through. -Spin until each sample volume is ≤ 40μL. Shirley Zhu aCGH_Agilent -3- -Bring total sample volume to 40μL with 1X TE (pH 8.0). -Take 1.5μl of each sample to determine the yield and specific activity by using the NanoDrop ND-1000 UV-VIS Spectrophotometer.. -Labeled DNA can be stored overnight at -20°C in the dark. Preparation of Labeled Genomic DNA for Hybridization -Prepare the 10X Blocking Agent: a. Add 1350μl of nuclease-free water to the vial containing lyophilized 10X Blocking Agent (supplied with Agilent Oligo aCGH Hybridization Kit). b. Leave at room temperature for 60 minutes and mix on a vortex to reconstitute sample before use or storage. The 10X Blocking Agent can be prepared in advance and stored at -20°C.
