PCR Purification
PCR Purification
2. Load. Pipet the sample into a PureLink® Spin Column in a Collection Tube.
Centrifuge the column at >10,000 × g for 1 minute. Discard the flow-through.
3. Wash. Re-insert the column into the Collection Tube and add 650 µL Wash
Buffer (W1) with ethanol. Centrifuge the column at >10,000 × g for 1 minute.
Discard the flow-through and place the column in the same Collection Tube.
Centrifuge the column at maximum speed for 2–3 minutes.
4. Elute. Place the column into a clean 1.7-mL Elution Tube (supplied with
the kit). Add 50 µL Elution Buffer to the center of the column. Incubate
the column at room temperature for 1 minute. Centrifuge the column at
maximum speed for 2 minutes. The elution tube contains the purified PCR
product. Store the purified DNA at 4°C for immediate use or at −20°C for
long-term storage.

Troubleshooting
Problem Solution
Low DNA • Check the amplicon on a gel to verify the PCR product prior to
yield purification.
• Always mix 1 volume of PCR (50–100 μL) with 4 volumes of Binding
Buffer (B2 or B3).
• Be sure to add 100% isopropanol to the Binding Buffers (B2 and B3).
• Be sure to add 96–100% ethanol to Wash Buffer (W1).
• Add Elution Buffer to the center of the column. Incubate the tube with
Elution Buffer for 1 minute before centrifugation.
Primer To efficiently remove primer dimers or short, spurious PCR products
dimers are (<300 bp), use Binding Buffer B3. Binding Buffer B3 is specifically
present designed to remove <300 bp DNA fragments, eliminating the need for gel
purification.
Enzymatic To remove Wash Buffer, discard Wash Buffer flow-through from the Wash
reactions Tube. Place the column into the Wash Tube and centrifuge the column at
are >12,000 × g for 2–3 minutes to completely dry the column.
