Description
The HiYield Gel/PCR DNA Fragment Extraction Kit is designed to recover or concentrate DNA fragments (100 bp→10 Kb) from agarose gel, PCR, or other enzymatic reactions. Chaotropic salt is used to dissolve agarose gel and denature enzymes. DNA fragments in the chaotropic salt are bound by the glass fiber matrix of the spin column. Contaminants are removed with a Wash Buffer (containing ethanol) and the purified DNA fragments are eluted by a low salt Elution Buffer or TE. Salts, enzymes and unincorporated nucleotides can be effectively removed from the reaction mixture without phenol extraction or alcohol precipitation. The entire procedure can be completed in 20 minutes.
Features
- Recovery :
up to 90% (gel extraction) up to 95% (PCR cleanup)
- Operation time :
20 minutes for gel extraction 15 minutes for PCR cleanup
Applications
Fluorescent/radioactive sequencing, PCR, restriction enzyme digestion, DNA labeling and ligation
Quality Control
The quality of the HiYield Gel/PCR DNA Fragment Extraction Kit is tested on a lot-to-lot basis by isolating DNA fragments of various sizes from either aqueous solutions or agarose gels. The purified DNA is checked by electrophoresis.
