PCR Clean-up Kit, 50T-EX6141

Introduction
The GF-1 PCR Clean Up Kit is a system designed for rapid clean up of DNA bands ranging
from 100bp to 20kb. The GF-1 PCR Clean Up Kit contains special buffers to provide the
correct salt concentration and pH for efficient recovery (80 – 90%) of DNA. This kit uses a
specially treated glass filter membrane fixed into a column to efficiently bind DNA in the
presence of high salt. It applies the principle of a mini-column spin technology and is well
suited for the removal of excess dNTPs, short oligo fragments, mineral oil, enzymes from a
PCR reaction product, proteins after restriction enzyme treatment and dephosporylation and
residual dye and ethidium bromide. This kit also allows for concentration of DNA, changing
of buffers and desalting.
Buffer PCR contains a pH indicator for easy determination of the optimal pH for efficient
recovery of DNA fragments but at the same time does not interfere with DNA yield and
quality as it is thoroughly removed during the subsequent washing steps. High recovery of
pure DNA obtained is ready-to-use in many routine molecular biology applications such as
restriction enzyme digestion, radioactive/fluorescence DNA sequencing, PCR, ligation and
transformation, probe preparations and other manipulations.

The GF-1 PCR Clean Up kit is available as 50, 100 and 200 purifications per kit.
The reagents and materials provided with the kit are for research purpose only.
Additional Materials to be Supplied by User
Absolute Ethanol (>95%)
3M Sodium Acetate, pH5.2
Reconstitution of Solutions
The bottle labeled Wash Buffer contains concentrated buffer which must be diluted with
absolute ethanol (>95%) before use.
For SAMPLE (5 preps),
Add 5.6ml of absolute ethanol into the bottle labeled Wash Buffer.
For GF-PC-050 (50 preps),
Add 40ml of absolute ethanol into the bottle labeled Wash Buffer.
For GF-PC-100 (100 preps),
Add 80ml of absolute ethanol into the bottle labeled Wash Buffer.
For GF-PC-200 (200 preps),
Add 80ml of absolute ethanol into the bottle labeled Wash Buffer.
Add 80ml of absolute ethanol into the bottle labeled Wash Buffer only prior to use.
Store Wash Buffer at room temperature with bottle capped tight after use.
Storage and Stability
All solutions should be stored at 20°C – 30°C.
Kit components are guaranteed to be stable for 18 months from the date of manufacture.
Buffer PCR may exhibit salt precipitation due to cold temperature. If this occurs, simply
warm the bottle at 55°C – 65°C with occasional mixing until completely dissolved.
Chemical Hazard
Buffer PCR contains guanidine salts which can be harmful when in contact with skin or
swallowed. Always wear gloves and practice standard safety precautions. Do NOT disinfect
guanidine or extraction waste in solutions containing bleach or any other form of acid. To
clean any items contaminated with the reagent, simply soak in detergent and water to remove
all traces of guanidine before cleaning with bleach or acidic solutions.
Procedures
Reminder
• All steps are to be carried out at room temperature.
• Wash Buffer (concentrate) has to be diluted with absolute ethanol before use.
Please refer to Reconstitution of Solutions.
• If precipitation forms in Buffer PCR, incubate at 55°C – 65°C with occasional mixing
until completely dissolved.
• The amount of Buffer PCR provided is sufficient for each purification of 200µl
of DNA sample. In the case of inadequate amount of Buffer PCR, please make a
separate purchase for any additional buffers required.
1. Gel Electrophoresis
Run DNA sample on agarose gel electrophoresis to confirm DNA band if necessary.
2. Homogenization
Determine the volume of sample and adjust to 100µl with sterile distilled water. For DNA
samples exceeding 100µl, use directly. Add 5 volumes of Buffer PCR to the DNA sample
and mix thoroughly by vortexing or inverting tube several times.
If the sample turns to orange/pink/red upon solubilization, add 5µl of 3M sodium acetate
pH5.2 and mix thoroughly. The sample should return to yellow.
Ensure that the color of the sample is yellow (pH7 or below) before proceeding to the next step.
3. Loading to column
Transfer the sample into a column (max. 1ml) assembled in a clean collection tube
(provided).Centrifuge at 10,000 x g for 1 min. Discard flow through.
Repeat for any remaining sample from step 2.
4. Column washing
Wash the column with 750µl Wash Buffer and centrifuge at 10,000 x g for 1 min. Discard
flow-through.
Ensure that ethanol has been added into the Wash Buffer before use (refer to Reconstitution of
Solutions).
5. Column drying
Centrifuge the column at 10,000 x g for 1 min to remove residual ethanol.
This step has to be carried out to remove all traces of ethanol as residual ethanol can affect the
quality of DNA and may subsequently inhibit enzymatic reactions.
6. DNA Elution
Place the column into a clean microcentrifuge tube. Add 30 – 200µl of Elution Buffer, TE
buffer or sterile water directly onto column membrane and stand for 2 min. For DNA
fragments larger than 8kb, use preheated elution buffer at 65°C – 70°C for better elution
efficiency. Spin at 10,000 x g for 1 min to elute DNA. Store DNA at 4°C or -20°C.
For higher concentration, elute DNA in smaller volume, i.e.: 30µl. However, the yield will be slightly
reduced. Ensure that the Elution Buffer is dispensed directly onto the center of the membrane for
complete elution. TE Buffer can also elute DNA although EDTA may inhibit subsequent enzymatic
reactions. If water is used for eluting DNA, maximum elution efficiency is achieved between pH7.0
and 8.5. Store DNA at -20°C as DNA may degrade in the absence of a buffering agent.
Troubleshooting
Please note that by not adhering to the recommended protocols, unsatisfactory results related
to yield and quality of DNA may occur. If problems arise, please refer to the following:
Problems Possibility Suggestions
Low recovery of DNA Incomplete DNA elution Allow full contact of
Elution Buffer with
membrane by dispensing
directly onto the center of
the membrane. Do not elute
with less than 30µl of
Elution Buffer.
Inappropriate elution buffer Ensure that the Elution
Buffer used is a low salt
buffer or water with a pH
range of 7.0 – 8.5.
The pH in the sample is too
high/ pH indicator appears
orange/pink/red
Ensure that 3M sodium
acetate, pH5.2 is added into
the sample prior to loading
into column.
Column not placed at fixed
orientation during
centrifugation
Place the column which has
a triangle mark on the edge,
at a fixed position during
centrifugation at all times.
Low recovery of DNA
larger than 8kb
Low elution efficiency Preheat Elution Buffer to
65°C – 70°C before eluting
DNA.
