Nucleic Acid Extraction, Purification & QC Foundation

Complete a PCR protocol for your own assay

The ordered workflow and rational starting conditions are ready. Add your target-specific primers or probe, align the settings with your actual kit, then save the working protocol as Word or Excel.

What does this foundation do?

It records specimen history and the target nucleic acid, locks one DNA or RNA source profile, preserves the execution receipt, and connects orthogonal QC evidence to a downstream-fit disposition.

Foundation coverage

  • Sample intake & route lock
  • DNA extraction & purification
  • RNA extraction & purification
  • Orthogonal QC & disposition

Scope boundary

It does not mix lysis, binding, wash, or elution conditions across kits, and it never treats one A260 ratio, RIN, DIN, or concentration result as a universal release decision.

Add your assay information before use

This draft provides an ordered workflow and rational starting conditions. It intentionally contains no sample primer or probe sequence. Enter your target-specific oligonucleotides and finalize every condition against the actual enzyme, kit, instrument instructions, and assay-validation data.

1

1. DEFINE THE SPECIMEN AND TARGET

Record species, matrix, collection device, preservation, storage, freeze-thaw history, input amount, target DNA or RNA class, required fragment-size behavior, and downstream use before selecting a method.

2

2. LOCK ONE EXTRACTION PROFILE

Select one exact manufacturer revision or qualified local SOP that supports the declared matrix, target, scale, and downstream use.

Condition: Do not combine lysis, binding, wash, nuclease, or elution conditions from different products.
3

3. DEFINE CONTAMINATION AND FRACTION CONTROLS

Declare extraction blanks, process positives, no-RT or no-template checks, retained fractions, physical segregation, and acceptance ownership before opening samples.

4

4. DEFINE SOURCE-DEPENDENT CAPACITY AND SAFETY

Transcribe the exact input capacity, hazardous reagent combinations, centrifuge or magnetic requirements, and waste handling from the selected source.

Reagent: USER REQUIRED — exact kit, lot, buffer preparation, revision, and source locator.
5

5. PREDECLARE THE QC PANEL

Choose fit-for-purpose concentration, purity, integrity or size, target contamination, inhibition, and downstream functional checks; no single ratio is a universal release test.

6. LABEL THE HANDOFF CONTRACT

Assign immutable sample, source-profile, extraction-batch, operator, instrument, raw-file, aliquot, and downstream-assay identifiers.
