In Topic: Cell Debris Isolation From Blood

08 June 2013 - 11:34 AM

Hi gfischer...
Thanks for your reply.  No I was more thinking in the direction of filteration (tandem filteration) using micro filter polymers.  But iodixanol seems to be a promising way as well.  I need to be able to separet the blood particles from stressed blood and study them in a microfluic system (i.e spike certain amount of these debris into intact blood and run them in a microfluidic device to find the threshold for failure).  Do you have a good protocol to suggest for using iodixanol for this purpose?  I would really be very grateful if you could help me out with this.
Thanks!
FL.

Thanks a lot for your precise and detailed reply on my queston regarding extraction from low volume blood.  Your protocol seems very promising.  Thanks again!

Awesome! Thanks so much for your help.  I really appreciate it.  I'm going to try the dry ice/isoproponaol/37 C bath...This defintely is going to happen first thing when I get my hands on some blood this week ;) Thanks again and have a great week ahead!

Hello Bob...There you go...I always get the best answers from you.  Thanks a lot.  How long would you keep the cycles going though?

In Topic: Qiagen column eluted DNA gives higher concetration than the original sample

12 February 2013 - 12:00 AM

Hi Carel, This is very nice of you to take the time to help.  Great way to approcach the calculations.  I think you are rihgt.   I'm going to have to check a few things to make sure nothing is coming from contaminants low 260/280 ratio for example (However unlikely).  I also need to run the gel, I am a lttle afraid of the conformational changes of larger DNA fragments (i.e gDNA samples).  The fluorescent molecules access to DNA fragmetns (Specially the way PicoGreen binds to DNA) can also be a factor.  I know two out of three samples I tested had issues with degradation.  I still have to run the gel and check the bands.

My pipetted volumes were above 5 ul, it's unlileky that this is the issue.  I agree on the elution volume collected from columns.  It's hardly 100 ul, however it's usually around 90-95 ul.   Thanks again for your help.  I really appreciate it.
