High-Speed Plasmid Mini Kit

DNA Extraction/Plasmid DNA PurificationThe High-Speed Plasmid Mini Kit was designed for both plasmid and cosmid DNA purification. This plasmid kit will purify plasmid DNA/cosmid DNA from 1-5 ml of cultured bacterial cells using an efficient plasmid miniprep system. The High-Speed Plasmid Mini Kit uses a modified alkaline lysis method and RNase treatment to obtain clear cell lysate with minimal genomic DNA/RNA contaminants. In the presence of chaotropic salt, plasmid DNA in the lysate binds to the glass fiber matrix of the plasmid spin column. Contaminants are removed with a Wash Buffer (containing ethanol) and the purified plasmid DNA is eluted by a low salt Elution Buffer, TE or water. Typical yields are 20-30 μg for high-copy number plasmid or 3-10 μg for low-copy number plasmid from 4 ml of cultured bacterial cells. This plasmid kit does not require DNA phenol extraction or alcohol precipitation and the entire procedure can be completed within 15 minutes.

QUALITY CONTROL
The quality of the High-Speed Plasmid Mini Kit is tested on a lot-to-lot basis according to Geneaid's ISO-certified quality management system. Plasmid DNA from a 4 ml overnight E. coli (DH5α) culture, containing plasmid pBluescript (A600 > 2 U/ml) is purified using the High-Speed Plasmid Mini Kit. Following the purification process, a yield of more than 20 μg is obtained and the A260/A280 ratio is between 1.8-2.0. The purified plasmid (1 µg) is used in EcoRI digestion, and checked by electrophoresis.

Figure 1 .Plasmid DNA was extracted using both the High-Speed Plasmid Kit (lane 3,4) and the equivalent competitor's plasmid kit (lane 1,2). The purified supercoiled plasmid DNA [1.5 ml overnight E. coli (DH5α) culture, containing a 3 kb plasmid pBluescript (A600 > 2 U/ml)], from a 50 µl eluate was used in EcoRI digestion and analyzed by electrophoresis on a 1% agarose gel.
