Benchmark™ Multi-Position Hotplate Stirrers

High Throughput PCR Clean-Up

The 96-well PCR Clean-Up/DNA Extraction Kits provide a high-throughput, rapid and economical method to purify DNA fragments. Chaotropic salt is used to denature enzymes and in this condition, DNA fragments are bound by the glass fiber matrix in each well of the plate. Once the contaminants have been removed, the purified DNA is eluted by a low salt elution buffer or water. Salts, enzymes, and unincorporated nucleotides are effectively removed from reaction mixtures without toxic phenol extraction or alcohol precipitation. This entire protocol can be completed in 30-40 minutes, and the eluted DNA is ready to use in restricted digestion, ligation, PCR, and sequencing reactions.
