Hi!
There is a kit from Kreatech Diagnostics for labelling single- 
and doublestranded DNA or RNA with digoxigenin, fluorescin or 
biotin. It works with a so calls universal linkage system, that 
is al platinum compound, over which the marker group is bound on 
about 90 % of the G in your fragment. 

I used the digoxigenin-version of the kit for labelling oligos 
for in situ hybridization, but without good results. But perhaps 
the fluorescin-variant is better...

Kreatech is a company in Amstedam, Netherlands.
That´s the number for asking, who is the Kreatech-distributor in 
your area: Phone: +31 20 691 91 81
             Fax: +31 20 696 35 31

Good luck Gabriele Kerber
