Gel/PCR DNA Fragments Extraction Kit (DF004, DF100, DF300)--Q&A

Q	Can the Gel/PCR DNA Kit completely remove primers or dimer products from PCR reactions?
Q	Can the Gel/PCR DNA Fragments Extraction Kit be used to clean up DIG-labeled DNA fragment?
Q	A band, smaller than the desired DNA fragment is present in the eluant.
Q	Why DNA recovery is lower than expected?
Q	Why doesn’t the Eluted DNA perform well in downstream applications?
A	(1) Residual ethanol contamination u After the wash step, dry the DF Colum¬n with additional centrifugation at top speed for 5 minutes or incubate at 60°C for 5 minutes. (2) DNA was denatured (a smaller band appeared on gel analysis) u Incubate eluted DNA at 95°C for 2 minutes, and then cool slowly to re-anneal denatured DNA.
