We demonstrate that routine PCR product analytical agarose gels can al
so serve as preparative gels for quick DNA template purification befor
e sequencing. The band of interest is excised, placed into a Gel Nebul
izer(TM) inside a Micropure(TM) separator and rapidly purified in a si
ngle centrifugation step. Gel-purified PCR product, suitable for manua
l and automated sequencing, is delivered within 10 min.
