DNA Extraction/Plasmid DNA Purification
The EcoExtra™ Magnetic Beads Plasmid Kit was designed for high throughput purification of plasmid DNA from up to 16 ml of cultured bacterial cells per reaction using an efficient magnetic beads system. A modified alkaline lysis method and RNase treatment a re used to obtain clear cell lysate with minimal genomic DNA and RNA contaminants. Typical yields are 6-10 μ g for high copy number plasmid from 1 ml of cultured E. coli cells. The purified plasmid DNA is ready for use in restriction enzyme digestion, ligation, PCR, and sequencing reactions. More important, the EcoExtra™ series kits enable up to 80% reduction of plastic material waste compared to silica-column based kits. Make lab works a lot more eco friendly.
Restriction Enzyme Digestion, Library Screening, Ligation, PCR, Transformation and Sequencing Reactions
The quality of the EcoExtra™ Magnetic Beads Plasmid 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 is purified using the EcoExtra™ Magnetic Beads Plasmid Kit . Following the purification process, a yield of more than 30 μg is obtained and the A260/A280 ratio is between 1.8-2.0.
