 AB    The experiments described in the present paper were performed in order
       to determine whether the Biomek-1000 (Beckman Instruments, Fullerton,
       CA, USA) automated laboratory workstation can be used in a fully
       automated DNA labeling method followed by automated gravity-driven size
       exclusion purification of molecular probes. To this aim, we performed
       random oligodeoxyribonucleotide priming of a HIV-1 LTR probe that was
       used for molecular hybridization to Southern blotted polymerase chain
       reaction products. The results obtained demonstrate that the
       automatically labeled probe can be efficiently purified by automated and
       gravity-driven Sephadex G-50 chromatography, without any major changes
       in hybridization property. This robotic methodology can be used in
       several procedures employing radioisotope labeling.
