Presto™ 96 Well Gel Extraction Kit 4X96 well plates/kit

The Presto™ 96 Well Gel Extraction Kits were designed to recover or concentrate DNA fragments from agarose gel. QG Buffer (yellow colour indicating optimal pH≤7.5) is premixed with a pH indicator to ensure optimal pH, facilitate DNA binding and allow for easy observation of undissolved agarose gel. If pH exceeds the optimal level (>7.5), the colour of the solution will appear purple instead of yellow. 3M Sodium Acetate (pH5.0) which is included with the kit, can then be added to the solution to adjust pH and return the colour to yellow. Chaotropic salt is used to dissolve agarose gel and denature enzymes while DNA fragments are bound by the glass fibre matrix of the Presto™ Gel Extraction 96 Well Binding Plate.

Contaminants are removed with a Wash Buffer (containing ethanol) and the purified DNA fragments are eluted by a low salt Elution Buffer, TE or water. The pH indicator, salts, enzymes and unincorporated nucleotides can be effectively removed from the reaction mixture without phenol extraction or alcohol precipitation and the purified DNA is ready for use in subsequent reactions.
