The RECOCHIP is a disposable chip designed to recover DNA fragments (up to 23 kb) from agarose gels. It consists of a non-woven polyester backing attached to a cellulose dialysis membrane.
After visualization of the band of interest, the RECOCHIP is inserted directly into the gel ahead of the band. The band is then run into the space created between the backing and the dialysis membrane. The DNA is recovered by centrifuging the chip in a 2.0 mL tube.
