Can the PureLink Quick PCR Clean-Up Kit be used to purify linear/digested or supercoiled plasmid DNA?
Yes, you can purify ANY dsDNA sample with a size range of 100 bp to 12 kb from liquid samples with the PureLink Quick PCR Clean-Up Kit. Supercoiled DNA can be purified as well, but some nicking should be expected.
What is unique about the S.N.A.P. UV-free Gel Purification Kit?
The S.N.A.P. UV-free Gel Purification Kit utilizes crystal violet as a staining reagent, which can be visualized in non-UV light conditions. This can prevent DNA damage that can be caused by the UV light required by normal ethidium bromide staining. DNA fragments recovered using this kit have higher cloning efficiency. In addition, DNA can be visualized under normal light as a thin violet band while the gel is running and excised as soon as bands are sufficiently resolved.
