Size fractionation of DNA fragments by liquid-liquid chromatography

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

A methods for the fractionation of double-stranded DNA fragments from 150 to 22000 b.p. in size by liquid-liquid chromatography is described. The procedure makes use of the fact that the partitioning of DNA in a polyethylene glycol-dextran system is size dependent and can be altered by alkali metal cations. Cellulose or celite are used as supports for the stationary, dextran-rich phase. Examples show the fractionation of digests of T7 DNA produced by Dpn II and Hind II restriction endonucleases as well as λ DNA digests produced by Hind III and Eco RI restriction endonucleases.
