2 mg/ml RNAse A in 50 mM Tris pH 8.0 & 15 mM NaCl
(boil for 5 -10 minutes and allow to cool, aliquot and freeze) | Proteinase K
20 mg/ml in H2O | Tris-EDTA
3.7 g Tris base

in 1 liter H2O pH 8.0 | SYBR Green I Staining Solution
1:10 dilution of SYBR Green I in Tris-EDTA with 0.25%(v/v) Triton X-100 | Sodium Citrate Buffer
14.7 g sodium citrate in 1 liter H2O pH 7.5 | 50º C waterbath | Method - Pellet 107 cells and re-suspend in 1.5 ml H2O.
- Slowly add 3.5 ml 100% EtOH. Fix at least 1 hr at Room Temperature (or overnight in the refrigerator).
- Wash fixed cells once with sodium citrate buffer and transfer to Falcon® 12 X 75 polystyrene tubes [35]2052, 2054, or 2058.(DO NOT SUBSTITUTE TUBES.)
- Re-suspend in 0.5 ml RNAse solution and incubate for 1 - 2 hours at 50º C.
- Add 20 microliters Proteinase K solution and incubate 1 hour at 50º C.
- Add 20 - 100 microliters of SYBR Green I Staining Solution and incubate overnight in the refrigerator.
- Sonicate and analyze.
