    Washing

    Notes

  • beads should have ~95% purity after enrichment;
  • charged Enrichment Beads should be used within one week (store in TEX at 4°C);
  • removal of supernatant from uncharged Enrichment beads should be done in three steps:
    • centrifuge 1 min at 14,000xg;
    • turn tubes in the rotor on 180° to put pellet down;
    • wait 1.5 min until beads went down;
    • remove ~80% of supernatant (until beads come to the tip);
    • slightly shake tube to wash beads from the wall;
    • repeat above procedure twice with shorter centrifugation: 0.5 min at 14,000xg;
  • §§ 9-14

  • it is convenient to process two-tubes portions.
