Pre-Mixed Sample Preparation Guidelines

DNA Type DNA Size DNA Volume
(Total Amount)
Primer Volume
(Total Amount)
Plasmid < 6 kb 8 µl (~400 ng) 4 µl (8 pmol)
Plasmid 6 - 10 kb 8 µl (~600 ng) 4 µl (8 pmol)
Plasmid > 10 kb 8 µl (~800 ng) 4 µl (8 pmol)
Purified PCR* 200 - 500 bp 8 µl (3 - 10 ng) 4 µl (8 pmol)
Purified PCR* 0.5 - 1 kb 8 µl (5 - 20 ng) 4 µl (8 pmol)
Purified PCR* 1-2 kb 8 µl (10 - 40 ng) 4 µl (8 pmol)

*PCR products should be purified by either gel extraction or enzymatic purification.

Pre-mix your DNA template and primer in an 8-strip 0.2 ml PCR tube, with a total volume of 12 µl. Submit 8 µl of DNA when using GENEWIZ's Free Universal Primers.

Please label your tube on the SIDE with the tube ID generated from your online order form. Cap your 8-strip tubes tightly with matching 8-strip caps. Please provide some cushion around the tubes to avoid any potential damage during shipping.

If submitting samples in 96-well plate format, please use column-loading scheme (see the diagram below) and leave two wells for GENEWIZ controls. Seal the plates with caps and provide some cushion to avoid potential damage during shipping.
