All Starting Cell Types
1. Set up the Aurum™ Vacuum Manifold and one RNA binding plate
according to “Manifold Wash Setup” instructions on page 7.
2. With the vacuum turned off and the regulator open, transfer the lysate
from each sample to a well of the RNA binding plate.
3. Turn the vacuum on and gradually increase the negative pressure
between –17 to –23 inHg over a 5–10 sec period by slowly closing
thevacuumregulator.Onceallwellshaveemptied,openthevacuum
regulator fully. Check that the regulator gauge reads approximately 0 inHg.
Note: Gradual application of negative pressure is required to ensure
uniform flow of lysates through all 96 wells of the RNA binding plate.
4. The low stringency wash solution is provided as a 5x concentrate. Add
4 volumes (240 ml) 95–100% ethanol to the low stringency
wash solution concentrate before initial use.
