  • Non-specific band after gel purification of PCR products

    I'm trying to purify my PCR products (obtained by using barcoded fusion primes) by gel purification to increase the quality of amplicon pyrosequencing.

    My problem is that non-specific band of about 1200 bp is not removed by gel purification process (please see the attached pdf file. My product size is about 600 bp and I usually cut out gel slices between 550 and 650 bp).

    Do you know how it can occur? And, If I run these samples without further purification, how badly does the non-specific band affect the overall sequencing results?

    Thanks in advance.

    You might try a nested PCR reaction on the gel-purified product

      any progress omnivore? I got the same problem now. ty. the sequencing worked fine tho.

        It will not affect your seq, or limited affect. It may be a dimer of your product.

          Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
          by seqadmin


          Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
