Single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) is an extremely important reagent in molecular biology. The purification and isolation of ssDNA is a key step in numerous analytical molecular biology procedures, including strand-specific hybridization (1), the in vitro selection of ssDNA aptamers (2, 3), nucleotide sequencing (4), and molecular weight analysis of DNA using mass spectrometry (5). Various methods have been used previously to obtain ssDNA from double-stranded (ds) PCR products (6–13). Importantly most of the techniques require more than one step to isolate the purified ssDNA from dsPCR products. Here we report a technique that allows us to generate single-stranded DNA directly from doublestranded PCR products generated using a “tagged primer.” The “tag” can be any hydrophobic moiety: both a biotin group and fluorescein were used in the following procedure. A dramatic increase in the speed in which ssDNA can be obtained directly from dsPCR products (ie, less than 15 min), which simultaneously generates highly purified ssDNA of a specific size from the PCR products and also allows the rapid isolation of fluorescently labeled ssDNA. This method uses the DNA Wave fragment analysis system that incorporates denaturing reverse-phase ion pair high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-IP DHPLC) 1 using DNA Sep technology (14).Results and discussion.
