    gel purification

    I have encountered a weired problem while purifying my vector for ligation. I double gigest my vector and ran in the gel. It looked pretty nice, well separrated two bands. I excised the band from the gel ( 4KB), purified by using QIAkit. I again ran an aliquot in the gel just to make sure that I have right things. But unfortunately I have two bands one has expected size and the pther has reduced size. I heat inactivated my reaction. Everytime I got reduced bands, what would be the reason? If anyone has a solution I would be veryy happy. Thanks

    Hello,

    Have you run the undigested vector next to it as a control? Maybe you have to dephosphorylate it i.e with SAP, so the ends won't stick together again - I guess that your second band might be the circular plasmid?
    Good luck.
