Highlights
- Quick (20 minute), large-scale recovery of ultra-pure DNA from PCR, endonuclease digestions, cell-free lysates, etc.
- ZR-96 Silicon-A Plate design allows DNA to be eluted at high concentrations into minimal volumes of solvent.
- Eluted DNA is well suited for use in PCR, DNA sequencing, DNA ligation, endonuclease digestion, RNA transcription, radiolabeling, etc.

Q1: What is the lower limit and minimal amount of DNA that can be recovered?
Picogram levels of DNA can be recovered. The limitation is based on sensitivity of detection method.
Q2: How to process naked DNA stored in DNA/RNA Shield?
Add an equal volume of ethanol (95-100%) to the sample and mix well. The sample is ready-to-bind and does not require DNA Binding Buffer. Proceed to Step 2.
Q3: What to do if ethanol addition to the DNA Wash Buffer was omitted?
The DNA will be eluted off the column. Rebind samples using the appropriate amount of DNA Binding Buffer and wash the column with the properly prepared wash buffer.
Q4: What happens if more DNA was loaded on the columns than the stated maximum binding capacity?
Oversaturation of the column can result in total DNA loss due to clogging of silica matrix.
Q5: How many times can columns be reloaded?
We recommend no more than 5 times as binding efficiency might decrease.
Q6: What is the minimum input volume of DNA sample?
Working with volumes below 50 µl can result in decreased recovery. We recommend raising the starting volume to 100 µl with water to ensure optimal binding conditions.
