Pipetting Schedule

Make fresh 0.2 M NaOH by mixing 800 µL molecular-grade water with 200 µL 1 M NaOH and invert tube several times to mix. Use within 12 hours.

If the starting library concentration is higher than 4 nM, dilute the library in a microcentrifuge tube to 4 nM with TE. Vortex and then centrifuge briefly.
