Qiagen

Product Name:

Gel Extraction Kit

Catalog Number:

28704

I use this gel extraction for purification of Enzymatic reaction ( endonuclease ) and CIP treatment. The quality of plasmid DNA can be directly used for ligation reaction.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Purification of plasmid DNA from enzymatic reaction

Starting Material

Plasmid DNA, endonuclease and CIP

Protocol Overview

We use 3 times of QiaX buffer, 10ul Silica beads and one volume water for every 250mg of Agarose piece. We followed the rest with the kits' manual for the steps. The beads was washed and dried at RT for 30 min. The plasmid DNA was eluted with pre heated water (55c) to the beads.

Tips

Don't overdry the beads

Results Summary

We recovered at least 60-70% plasmid DNA from the extraction.

Additional Notes
