I have used succefully those methods:

- Gel purification of the amplified DNA fragment. Cut the band and 
extract the DNA with any method described elsewhere.

- Use Centricon 100 (if you fragment is bigger than 10 pb). Wash several 
times (5 X 2 ml) and the oligos won't mess in the next PR.


Good luck


Rafa
