Protocols

Welcome to The Science Advisory Board's extensive database of research protocols for the biomedical sciences. Protocols are organized by techniques and are fully searchable by key word(s). Protocols are divided into a brief description of the methods, a step-by-step overview of the procedure, a collection of recipes, the supplies needed, and any helpful tips. Members submitting protocols will be rewarded through the ViewPoints system.

Posted on Wednesday, November 19, 2003

Description
No Description

Procedure
1) Make up RNA (up to 20ug) dissolved in sterile H2O, TE or 0.5% SDS to 500ul with ice-cold sterile 10mM NaOH, 1mM EDTA and apply it to Zeta Probe membrane, held in a dot-blot apparatus, which has been pre-wetted in 2 x SSC.
2) Apply a vacuum across the apparatus to draw the solution through the membrane and wash each dot once with 500ul ice-cold 10mM NaOH, 1mM EDTA.

3) Remove membrane from apparatus and wash for 5 mins in 2 x SSC at room temperature.

4) Allow membrane to air dry.

At this stage the membrane can be stored dry at -20°C until required for hybridisation to the probe of choice or it can be used immediately.
