I sheared DNA in RSB, will it still work?

[yoyoming1001]

I usually use 1x TE but made a mistake and used Illumina's RSB instead. First off, will the shearing still work? And second, if I try to ampure cleanup the sample after shearing, will the DNA bind to the beads? Since it's an elution buffer I'm worried that it wouldn't bind to the beads and I would lose all my material. I typically shear in 130ul and add 180ul of ampure and then elute in RSB.

Any advice or thoughts, good or bad, would be helpful. I don't know what to think, but I'm leaning towards it being bad. Not feeling to great.

The RSB is 10 mMTris-HCl pH 8.5. It should be fine

I've done this as well and didn't see any issues with my final libraries, so you should be fine.

Thank you both for your replies. The libraries turned out fine in the end, which I'm so relieved about.

SPRI bead binding/unbinding has more to do with PEG than anything else. An "elution buffer" (water/basic Tris/etc) will elute off of the beads when NOT in the presence of PEG, which is why you resuspend naked beads (and not beads+PEG) in your elution buffer. In your described 1.4X SPRI cleanup, you will have a 180:130 PEG to Diluant so no worries here. Things start getting weird around 0.4X and below.
