"Unfortunately, your PCR didn't work, so there wasn't anything to cut out and purify. The issue this time is different than what you had before. In this instance, no distinct band was produced. For some reason, your sample is just a smear. The ladder run on the gel is the O'GeneRuler 100bp Ladder.
Looking at the size of the smear, and the fact that you have just a smear and no distinct band(s), suggests that what you have on the gel is RNA or straight cDNA. However, it's a LOT of RNA/cDNA (based on the intensity of the fluorescence)."
