Can I restrip and reprobe a sequenced plate?
Yes. Restripping and reprobing a prepared plate is possible by following the stripping and rinse protocol below (NOTE: the recipeit is confidential and make sure to consult with FAS first before disclosing)
1. Stripping Buffer Formulation (Buffer 1) -
Prepare Buffer 1 using the following final concentrations (brought to final volume with nuclease-free water):
60% Formamide
0.2X SSC
0.1% Triton X-100
Nuclease-free water (remainder)
2. Stripping & Wash Protocol
Stripping Step: Incubate the sample with Buffer 1 for 10 minutes, repeated 3 times (3 × 10 min). (Note: There should still be stripping buffer remaining in the bottle after completing the run.)
Rinse Step: Rinse with PBST for 10 minutes, repeated twice (2 × 10 min) to clear residual stripping reagents before reprobing.
