Purification of small (100bp) PCR products

I am trying to purify a 144bp PCR product. I will use this as a probe template so I want to make sure it is free of other PCR component (i.e., dNTP, taq, etc) and also get rid of an extra, faint band of higher (~300) molecular weight. I tried with the Qiaquick columns (Qiagen) but without success. According to the manual, they are good in the range 100bp - 10 kb, so this may be the problem.
Does anybody have a good purification protocol for small (~100bp) PCR products? Regards, Monsa

There are several commercial kits and home-made protocols available for purifiy PCR products (100 bp- 10kb). However, they are all not efficient in terms of extreme small or large fragments.
The best experience I have so far is GenCatch gel extraction kit for my 78-bp fragment >60% recovery and >90% purity.

Try Silica (not the diatoms). It must be good for very short PCR fragments

You could try Exo-SAP It from Amersham for clean-up, although it will probably not get rid of the higher m.wt band.
