The S.N.A.P.™ Gel Purification Kit is designed for rapid purification of DNA fragments from agarose gels. The key is the unique S.N.A.P.™ resin, which is provided ready to use in a spin-column format. The resin efficiently binds nucleic acids up to 20 kb and eliminates organic extractions, and the need to perform time-consuming ethanol precipitations.
Easy to Use
The S.N.A.P.™ Gel Purification Kit yields pure DNA in an easy-to-perform,
rapid procedure. Simply:
1. Excise DNA band from your agarose gel.
2. Add NaI solution (provided) and melt the agarose at 42-50°C.
3. Load sample onto the S.N.A.P.™ spin column.
4. Wash away contaminants.
5. Elute DNA in water.

The eluted DNA is highly pure and ready to use for cloning, sequencing, transformation, or transfection.
For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

I'm running an agarose gel with TAE or TBE. Can I use your gel extraction kits?

Yes, both TAE and TBE agarose gels are compatible with our gel extraction kits.

What is the difference between Purelink PureLink Quick Gel Extraction System and S.N.A.P. Gel Purification Kit?

The PureLink kit can be used with both TAE and TBE gels, while the S.N.A.P. Gel Purification Kit is recommended for TAE gels only.

Can you use TBE gels with S.N.A.P. gel purification kits?

No, TBE gels contain borate, which interferes with the sodium iodide solution. Therefore, only TAE gels can be used. We recommend the PureLink Quick Gel Extraction kit for both TAE and TBE agarose gels.

What is the smallest fragment that can be purified with S.N.A.P. columns?

S.N.A.P. mini prep columns have been used to purify fragments of 100 bp in gel purification procedures.

What is the resin in the S.N.A.P. kits?

The column contains a silica/glass fiber based resin. However, the exact composition is proprietary.
