Kit for purifying DNA from PCR and enzymatic reactions and from standard or low-melting agarose gels, using silica membrane spin columns and no phenol-chloroform extraction. The protocol removes primers, primer dimers, dNTPs, unincorporated labelled nucleotides, enzymes and salts, and recovers both double- and single-stranded DNA. Recovery is about 95% for fragments from 100 bp to 3 kb.
Key features
About 95% for 100 bp to 3 kb fragments; 50 bp or 20 kbp fragments are recovered with reduced yield, still above 70%.
PCR clean-up in 5-10 minutes, gel extraction in 16-20 minutes.
Silica membrane technology avoids phenol and chloroform.
Accepts up to 100 µL of PCR reaction or gel slices up to 300 mg, with elution in 50-200 µL.
Applications
- Sequencing
- Ligation and transformation
- Restriction enzyme digestion
- DNA labelling
- PCR
- In vitro transcription
- Microinjection
- Microarray analysis
