    The video outlines the process of DNA extraction from blood using the Kaya Amp DNA Mini and Blood Mini Kit. It begins by emphasizing the importance of a clean, decontaminated workspace using a bleach solution and ethanol. Prior to extraction, one must ensure all necessary equipment and consumables are prepared, including labeling micro tubes with sample IDs and preparing the heating block to 56°C. The process involves mixing the blood, adding Proteinase K, and different buffers sequentially while using centrifugation at specific G forces. The mixture is transferred to spin columns, and after further centrifugation and buffer additions, the DNA is collected from these columns for QC analysis.

    In the continuation, the DNA from the spin columns is eluted using AE buffer, followed by incubations and centrifuge steps. The DNA concentration and purity are assessed using a Nanodrop spectrophotometer and gel electrophoresis. One sample might need further purification, indicated by its performance in concentration and purity tests. The DNA's integrity is checked on an agarose gel. Following this, the video shows how to dry DNA samples for transportation using a DNA stable plate in a PCR hood box. Samples are accurately recorded, allowed to dry, then sealed and documented for shipment, summarizing DNA extraction, QC checks, drying, and packaging for transport.

    each sample label your spin columns
  • 00:03:48
    ensuring that each spin column
  • 00:03:50
    corresponds to the sample ID we usually
  • 00:03:54
    label the sides of the spin columns as
  • 00:03:56
    well in case the ID on the lid is
  • 00:03:59
    smudged by ethanol carefully transfer

    rim of these spin columns close the cap
  • 00:05:40
    and centrifuge at full speed that's
  • 00:05:42
    20,000 G around 14000 rpm for three
  • 00:05:47
    minutes
  • 00:05:54
    discard the filtrate from the collection
  • 00:05:57
    tube into a waste container as the
  • 00:05:59
    collection tube is going to be reused
  • 00:06:02
    dry the rim of each collection tube on a
  • 00:06:05
    paper towel and replace the spin column
  • 00:06:13
    centrifuge at full speed for one minute
  • 00:06:15
    this ensures that all residual wash
  • 00:06:17
    popper and ethanol are removed which
  • 00:06:20
    could affect downstream processes label
  • 00:06:23
    clean 1.5 mil micro tubes one for each
  • 00:06:27
    sample and transfer the spin columns to
  • 00:06:30
    each corresponding micro tube the DNA
  • 00:06:32
    that was on the spin column will be
  • 00:06:34
    eluted from the column to the AE buffer
  • 00:06:37
    add 200 microliters of AE buffer to each

    incubation and centrifugation steps this
  • 00:07:08
    repeat dilution step optimizes a DNA
  • 00:07:11
    yield for each sample this completes
  • 00:07:19
    your DNA extraction of your blood
  • 00:07:21
    samples and you will now evaluate the
  • 00:07:24
    DNA concentration and quality for this
  • 00:07:28
    we are going to perform a couple of
  • 00:07:30
    quality control steps we recommend that
  • 00:07:33
    you remove an aliquot of each sample for
  • 00:07:36
    carrying out your QC s a total of five
  • 00:07:39
    microliters will be sufficient while
  • 00:07:42
    leaving the rest of your samples are
  • 00:07:44
    nice we are going to use the nanodrop
  • 00:07:46
    spectrophotometer to determine the DNA
  • 00:07:49
    concentration and purity this will be
  • 00:07:51
    followed by gel electrophoresis to
  • 00:07:53
    establish DNA integrity for the nanodrop
  • 00:07:56
    we will use 1.5 microliters of DNA
  • 00:07:59
    sample and we'll use the AE buffer to
  • 00:08:02
    blank the instrument because this is
  • 00:08:04
    what the DNA samples have been diluted
  • 00:08:06
    in samples are always fun down to ensure
  • 00:08:10
    that the DNA is at the bottom of the
  • 00:08:12
    tube a controlled DNA sample is always
  • 00:08:15
    included of known concentration this is
  • 00:08:18
    used to check that the instrument is
  • 00:08:19
    working optimally in assessing the DNA
  • 00:08:23
    while the concentration and the two 6280
  • 00:08:26
    ratios are important it is also critical
  • 00:08:29
    that the two 6230 ratios are good the
  • 00:08:32
    two 6230 ratios should be between 1.5
  • 00:08:36
    and 3 when reviewing the results we can
  • 00:08:40
    see that one of the samples hasn't
  • 00:08:42
    performed optimally while the other one
  • 00:08:44
    has if the sample was to be used for the
  • 00:08:47
    genotyping FA we will be carrying out it
  • 00:08:49
    would require an ethanol precipitation
  • 00:08:51
    step to purify that sample
  • 00:08:54
    the next thing we are going to do is to
  • 00:08:56
    assess the DNA integrity and the samples
  • 00:08:59
    will be run on a 1% agarose gel loading
  • 00:09:02
    buffer is added to each sample including
  • 00:09:05
    the DNA ladder which will be used to run
  • 00:09:08
    alongside the samples running buffer in
  • 00:09:11
    this case 1 times tbe
  • 00:09:12
    containing a 30 embroid is added to the
  • 00:09:15
    tank the gel is lowered into the gel
  • 00:09:19
    tank and the samples together with the
  • 00:09:22
    high molecular weight DNA ladder are
  • 00:09:24
    loaded onto the gel the gel is said to
  • 00:09:27
    run at 100 volts for 20 to 30 minutes at
  • 00:09:31
    the end of the run time the gel is
  • 00:09:34
    removed from the gel tank and
  • 00:09:35
    transferred to a gel dock system or
  • 00:09:37
    transilluminator to visualize the DNA as
  • 00:09:41
    you can see from these results the
  • 00:09:45
    samples are all of high molecular weight
  • 00:09:47
    this gel picture contains samples that
  • 00:09:50
    are both of high molecular weight DNA as
  • 00:09:52
    well as degraded DNA we will now
  • 00:09:56
    demonstrate how to dry down DNA samples
  • 00:09:59
    using the DNA stable plate this would
  • 00:10:02
    enable the transportation of DNA at
  • 00:10:05
    ambient temperature this needs to be
  • 00:10:07
    performed in a PCR hood or a laminar
  • 00:10:10
    flow turn on the pcr hood or laminar
  • 00:10:13
    flow at least 5 minutes before starting
  • 00:10:15
    aliquot the same volume of DNA across
  • 00:10:18
    the plate the positions of each DNA
  • 00:10:21
    sample has to be recorded accurately
  • 00:10:23
    using a sample recording template
  • 00:10:26
    containing a plate layout the plate will
  • 00:10:29
    remain in the PCR hood or the laminar
  • 00:10:31
    flow until the samples had dried down
  • 00:10:33
    completely the drying time will depend
  • 00:10:36
    on the volume of DNA used approximate
  • 00:10:39
    drying times can be found in the DNA
  • 00:10:42
    stable protocol however the drying time
  • 00:10:45
    should be monitored and the final time
  • 00:10:47
    recorded the PCR hood or laminar flow
  • 00:10:49
    should be kept running for the duration
  • 00:10:51
    of the drying downtime when all the DNA
  • 00:10:53
    plates are completely dried down seal
  • 00:10:56
    the plate with a PC
  • 00:10:57
    our plate seal ensuring that all wells
  • 00:11:00
    are completely airtight this is going to
  • 00:11:02
    be achieved by using a seal applicator
  • 00:11:04
    close the plate each plate has a lid and
  • 00:11:08
    place a DNA stable plate into a shipping
  • 00:11:11
    bag place the bag and accompanying
  • 00:11:13
    documentation for example the sample
  • 00:11:16
    submission forms export license details
  • 00:11:18
    into a shipping box
  • 00:11:24
    to summarize you have been shown how to
  • 00:11:27
    extract DNA from whole blood or the
  • 00:11:30
    quality control checks entail drying
  • 00:11:32
    down DNA in a DNA stable plate and
  • 00:11:35
    packaging of the plate with the dried
