Prepare your library

Need help?

Take one 0.2 ml PCR tube and two 1.5 ml Eppendorf DNA LoBind tubes. Label them as follows:
- 0.2 ml PCR tube: label as "Tube 1"
- 1.5 ml Eppendorf DNA LoBind tube: label as "Tube 2"
- 1.5 ml Eppendorf DNA LoBind tube: label as "Tube 3"

Transfer 2 µl of Lambda DNA (LMD) to Tube 1.

lambda-2ul

Add 8 µl nuclease-free water to Tube 1.

nfw-8ul

Add 1 µl Fragmentation Mix (FRA) to Tube 1.

fra2b-01

Mix the contents of the tube by flicking the tube with your finger. Spin down briefly in a microfuge.

  • Incubate in heat blocks or a thermal cycler at 30°C for two minutes, then at 80°C for two minutes.
  • Take the tube out from the thermal cycler or heat block, spin down briefly in a microfuge, and put the tube on ice for approximately 30-60 seconds to cool it down.

30-80-2mins

Pipette 1.5 μl of Rapid Adapter (RA) into Tube 2.

ra-15ul

Add 3.5 μl of Adapter Buffer (ADB) to Tube 2.

adb2

Mix the contents of Tube 2 by pipetting up and down. Spin down briefly in a microfuge.

Add 1 μl of the Tube 2 contents into Tube 1.

tube2-tube1

  • Mix the contents of the tube by flicking the tube with your finger
  • Spin down briefly in a microfuge
  • Incubate for 5 minutes at room temperature

Store the library on ice until you are ready to load it into the flow cell.

Section 4 complete

You have now prepared a library of Lambda genomic DNA ready for nanopore sequencing - you will use this shortly once the flow cell has been primed. It will be referred to as Lambda DNA library (Tube 1).
