The GeneClean® II Kit is designed to optimally purify 200 bp to 20 kb DNA from TAE and TBE buffered agarose gels and solutions. The purified DNA is suitable for a variety of downstream applications, such as sequencing, PCR, restriction digestion, cloning and labeling.

The kit is designed for the rapid purification of linear and plasmid DNA fragments from standard or low-melting agarose gels. This kit can also be used to purify DNA from polyacrylamide gels. Typical recovery of DNA is up to 80%. Each column can bind up to 10 μg of DNA from up to a 3,5 g agarose slice.

GeneClean® II Kit combines silica-binding technology with the convenience of a spin or vacuum column format. DNA fragments of interest are extracted from slices of an agarose gel and are bound to a silica membrane. Contaminants are removed by a simple spin or vacuum wash. The bound DNA is then eluted in Tris buffer.
