Principle

Purification of DNA fragments with the QIAEX II system is based on solubilization of agarose and selective adsorption of nucleic acids onto QIAEX II silica-gel particles in the presence of chaotropic salt. QIAEX II separates DNA from salts, agarose, polyacrylamide, dyes, proteins, and nucleotides without phenol extraction or ethanol precipitation. QIAEX II is effective for any type of agarose in either TAE or TBE buffers.

QIAEX II particles ensure efficient recovery without shearing, even for large DNA fragments. Optimized buffers permit DNA recovery without sodium iodide, which is difficult to remove from DNA samples, and may affect subsequent reactions. Quantities of DNA from 10 ng to 10 µg are recovered efficiently (see figure "Consistent Recovery from Different Starting Quantities of DNA Fragment"), and the versatile batch procedure can be easily scaled up for preparative purposes up to 15 µg binding capacity using 30 µl QIAEX II suspension.

The solubilization and binding buffer used with the QIAEX II system contains a unique pH indicator. A simple color change indicates whether the pH of the binding mixture is optimal for efficient adsorption of DNA to QIAEX II silica particles (see figure "pH Indicator Dye"). The colored dye also allows easy visualization of any unsolubilized agarose in the binding mixture, ensuring complete solubilization for maximum yield.

Size vs recovery with QIAEX II

DNA size	Recovery*

44 bp	75%
75 bp	75%
500 bp	95%
7.5 kb	85%
23.5 kb	75%
48.5 kb	60%

* From 2 µg loaded on a 1% TAE agarose gel

Binding capacity:	5 µg DNA per 10 µl QIAEX II suspension
Recovery:	60-95% of DNA fragments (40 bp – 50 kb)
Elution volume:	Elution volume: 20 µl

Procedure

QIAEX II silica-gel particles are added to the solubilized gel slice (see "QIAEX II Procedure" flowchart), and the particles collected by a brief centrifugation step. After washing, the pure DNA fragment is eluted in 20 µl of Tris buffer or water.

Downstream applications

DNA purified with the QIAEX II system can be used directly in most applications, including:

Restriction digestion
Labeling
Ligation
PCR
