We use this kit for cloning purpose. The amplified PCR product is purified from total reaction mixture. The purified PCR product is directly used for restriction digestion for cloning into an appropriate vector

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Cloning

Starting Material

DNA

Protocol Overview

We followed the manufacturer protocol. In brief, 3 volumes of the ERC is added to 1 volume of sample and loaded on to the qia quick column and spun. The column is washed with 750 microliters of PE buffer and eluted with 50 microliters of elution buffer

Tips

The ERC buffer colour should be yellowish or else add 10 microliter of 3M sodium acetate to regain its PH

Results Summary

Good quality of DNA is obtained with a moderate recovery.

Additional Notes

The DNA fragment should be at minimum 75 base pairs for purification

Summary

The Good

High quailty DNA is obtained with low salts

The Bad

Cannot use for amplicon of less than 75 base pairs

The Bottom Line

Go for this kit when you want to purify DNA amplicon greater than 100bp
