GenElute™ Minus EtBr Spin Columns

Description: Description: GenElute™ Minus EtBr Spin Columns are based on the GenElute Agarose Spin Column but incorporate a membrane for the selective removal of ethidium bromide (Figure 1).

Procedure: The DNA band is excised from an agarose gel and loaded onto the spin column. The membranes, embedded within the column, retain the agarose and ethidium bromide while allowing DNA to selectively pass through the column into a centrifuge tube during centrifugation. Up to 95% of ethidium bromide is removed from DNA with a simple 10 minute procedure. GenElute Minus EtBr Spin Columns can recover DNA fragments from 100 bp to 10 kb with typical recoveries of 30 to 35%.

Application: The purified DNA can be used directly for ligation, Restriction Enzyme Digestion, Cloning, PCR and related manipulations without ethanol precipitation.

<200 mg gel slice
