Company:

Qiagen

Product Name:

QIAquick Gel extraction kit

Catalog Number:

28704

We use this kit to purify digested Plasmid DNA containing the gene of interest during the cloning procedure. We use this kit for maximum recovery of the digested product .

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Cloning

Starting Material

Plasmid

Protocol Overview

Cut the gel having the desired DNA and weigh the gel. To that, add 3 volumes of QG buffer then heat the sample at 55 degrees until the gel is completely soluble, then add 1 vol of isopropnol, load onto the qiaquick column and spin. Wash the column with PE buffer and elute the DNA.

Tips

Do not exceed more than 200mg of the gel for purification

Results Summary

Very good quality DNA is recovered from the gel

Additional Notes

The Purified DNA is of high quality, you can directly go to ligation step.
