The Invitrogen™ ChargeSwitch™-Pro PCR Clean-Up Kit offers a fast, ethanol-free, and highly efficient solution for purifying DNA fragments from PCR reactions. Unlike conventional silica-based purification methods, the ChargeSwitch™-Pro kit uses an innovative ion-exchange mechanism that eliminates the need for ethanol, chaotropic salts, or organic solvents—substances known to interfere with downstream enzymatic reactions.
This unique chemistry allows DNA to bind at low pH and elute at pH 8.5, producing inhibitor-free DNA with superior quality for downstream applications. The kit provides a 20% reduction in handling steps, simplifying workflows and reducing variability while ensuring high yields of pure DNA.
Key Features
- Ethanol-Free, Chaotrope-Free – Avoids common inhibitors of enzymatic reactions.
- Improved Downstream Performance – Enhances sequencing, cloning, and digestion efficiency.
- Fast and Simple Protocol – 20% fewer handling steps than standard methods.
- High Recovery – Purifies up to 500 μL of PCR product per column.
- Complete Kit – Includes columns, collection tubes, recovery tubes, and all necessary buffers.
- Sustainable Workflow – Reduced hazardous reagents and waste generation.
How It Works
The ChargeSwitch™ ion-exchange chemistry binds DNA to a positively charged surface ligand at low pH and elutes it when the pH is raised to 8.5. This avoids harsh reagents used in traditional PCR clean-up and produces DNA free of enzymatic inhibitors, improving the reliability of downstream workflows such as:
- PCR amplification
- Restriction enzyme digestion
- Sequencing (including array CGH labeling)
- Cloning
Applications
- PCR product purification for cloning and ligation workflows.
- Removal of primers, dNTPs, polymerases, and salts.
- DNA preparation for next-generation sequencing (NGS).
- Downstream enzymatic assays including restriction digestion.
- Research workflows requiring inhibitor-free DNA.
