PCR Clean-Up
![]() | PCR Clean-Up From Complex Mixtures of DNAPCR clean-up is a routine but time-consuming laboratory procedure. Now you can use an easier, faster, safer method and get superior results. Purify DNA using a simple and rapid PCR clean-up method that efficiently removes short primers, unincorporated dNTPs, enzymes, short-failed PCR products, and salts from PCR reactions. Isolated DNA is ready for sequencing, PCR, transcription, mapping, cloning, and labeling. We offer a wide range of Invitrogen™ PCR clean-up kits, plus the support you may need to get high yields of pure DNA (Figure 1). |

The ChargeSwitch®-Pro PCR Clean-Up Kit and QIAquick® PCR Purification Kit were used according to the manufacturers’ directions. A purified 2 kb sample (100 ng) from each purification was used in BigDye® Terminator sequencing reactions with the T7 primer.
