Purify samples using modified manual AxyPrep MagBead PCR Clean-Up (GSAF uses AmpPure XP):
AmpPure XP PCR cleanup and AxyPrep MagBead have the exact same stock protocol!
Equilibrate Beads to room Temperature
Add 24 ul of MagBeads to each well; Pipette mix up and down 10 times.
Incubate at RT for 5 minutes
Secure plate on magnet plate; incubate at RT for 5 minutes (until wells are clear)
Remove 54 ul from each well; keep tips to left or right depending on the column to avoid bead pellet.
Add 100 ul Fresh 80% EtOH to each well. Incubate 30 seconds. Remove 100 ul from each well.
Add 100 ul Fresh 80% EtOH to each well. Incubate 30 seconds. Remove 100 ul from each well.
Allow plate to air dry for 7 minutes.
Remove sample plate from magnet plate.
Add 15 ul TE per GSAF protocol; pipette mix 10+ times
Incubate at RT for 2 minutes
Place sample plate back on magnet for 5 minutes or until all wells are cleared.
Prepare next MasterMix while sample plate is on the magnet plate.
Add 20 ul FlowCell MasterMix to new plate:
ul/rxn | Reagent | # of rxns | ul needed |
|---|---|---|---|
3 | 5X Phusion HF Buffer | 8 | 60 |
0.45 | 10M dNTPs | 8 | 9 |
0.3 | Kapa HiFi HotStart DNA Pol | 8 | 6 |
0.5 ul | 10 uM F and R FlowCell Primers | 8 | 10 |
0.75 | HPLC H2O | 8 | 115 |
5 | Total Volume | 8 | 600 |
Transfer 10 ul from plate on magnet plate to new strip tubes.

Secure plate on magnet plate; incubate at RT for 5 minutes (until wells are clear)
Remove 54 ul from each well; keep tips to left or right depending on the column to avoid bead pellet.
Add 100 ul Fresh 80% EtOH to each well. Incubate 30 seconds. Remove 100 ul from each well.
Add 100 ul Fresh 80% EtOH to each well. Incubate 30 seconds. Remove 100 ul from each well.
Allow plate to air dry for 7 minutes.
Remove sample plate from magnet plate.
Add 23 ul TE per GSAF protocol; pipette mix 10 times
