Note: Gradual application of negative pressure is required to prevent
sample spraying and cross-contamination.
The eluted total RNA samples in the sample collection plate can be
used immediately in downstream applications. Alternatively, the sample
collection plate can be sealed with sealing tape and stored at –20°C or
–80°C for later use.

proceeding.
Except for the first few steps that are specific for the starting sample types
(A,forculturedcelllines;B,forbacteria;andC,foryeast),theremaining
procedures within “All Starting Cell Types” share a common protocol.
Cultured Cell Lines
Follow steps A1–A3, then continue with step 1 of “All Starting Cell Types” on
page 13.
A1. Fornonadherentcellcultures,rinsethecellswithPBSandtransferup
to 1 x 10
6
cells into each well of a 96-well microplate (not provided).
Centrifuge the plate at 300 x g for 5 min then aspirate the supernatant
from each well.
For adherent cell cultures, rinse the wells (each containing up to
1 x 10
6
cells)ofthegrowthvesseloncewithPBSandaspirate.
A2. Add150µloflysissolution(alreadysupplementedwith
1%b-mercaptoethanol) to each well and pipet up and down several times
to lyse cells thoroughly.
A3. Add150µlof70%ethanol(notsupplied)toeachwellandpipetupand
down to mix thoroughly. Make sure that no bilayer is visible and that the
viscosity is substantially reduced.
Bacteria
FollowstepsB1–B3,thencontinuewithstep1of“AllStartingCellTypes”
on page 13. If starting with a grow block of bacterial culture (maximum 1
OD/ml/well),centrifugethegrowblockat1,500xgfor10min.Decantthe
supernatant, and blot the block with paper towels.
