Purify large fragment from Agarose gel >10 Kb

[Michelle Gleeson]

Hi,

I recently had success with a simple home made spin column that was
described here a while back:  0.5ml tube with 22G needle hole in bottom,
small amount siliconised glass wool inside.  Cut off cap, place in 1.5ml
tube. Add gel slice from 1% gel into inner tube.  Spin 10 minutes 6000rpm.
Phe:Chl then Chl extract and EtoH ppt the flow through.  I was able to
successfully ligate a 9kb product using this technique, but a 20kb band
also purified well.
