To improve the quality of follow-up samples, those with insufficient DNA concentration for MRD purposes (i.e. those with <100 ng/µl) were ethanol-precipitated. To do this, 1/10 volume sodium acetate, as well as twice the sample volume of 100% ethanol (stored at −20 °C) were added to the samples and incubated overnight at −20 °C. Afterwards, samples were centrifuged at 17,900 × g and 4 °C for 10 min. The nucleic acid pellet was then washed with 500 µl ethanol (70%) and centrifuged again at 17,900 × g and 4 °C for 5 min. Finally, the pellet was dried and rehydrated in ≈12 µl of water, and quantified using the Qubit dsDNA BR assay.
Dsdna br assay
The DsDNA BR assay is a fluorescence-based detection method used to quantify double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) in samples. The assay utilizes a fluorescent dye that binds to dsDNA, allowing for the measurement of DNA concentration in a sample.

Rapid DNA Extraction for NDMA Analysis
For intraoperative NDMA analysis, the tumor biopsy was immediately placed in lysis buffer (Qiagen) at the operating room, allowing digestion to begin during transport to the laboratory.10 (link) Upon arrival, the biopsy lysate was homogenized for 30 s (TissueLyser, Qiagen) and digested for 10 min at 56°C and 5 min at 70°C. This reduced the total sample handling and DNA extraction time to 30 min. The DNA quantity and quality were still above the required standards.

Genomic DNA Isolation from Blood and FFPE
FFPE blocks of normal colorectal mucosa and CRC tissue were obtained when available. For each FFPE specimen, 10-20 x 10-μm sections were cut from a single representative block per case, using macrodissection with a scalpel if needed to enrich for tumor cells. After deparaffinization using the Qiagen Deparaffinization Solution (Qiagen), DNA was isolated using the QIAmp DNA FFPE Tissue Kit (Qiagen) according to manufacturer’s instructions.
DNA quality was tested using a NanoDrop ND 1000 Spectrophotometer (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), electrophoresis in agarose gel and a Qubit Fluorometer (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) using the dsDNA BR Assay (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA).

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
