General description
An overnight recombinant E. coli culture is harvested by centrifugation and subjected to a modified alkaline-SDS lysis procedure followed by adsorption of the DNA onto a silica membrane in the presence of high salts. Contaminants are removed by two wash steps. Finally, the bound DNA is eluted in Elution Solution (Tris-HCl) or water.
The recovered plasmid DNA is predominately in its supercoiled form. The DNA is ready for immediate use in downstream applications such as restriction digestion, ligation, sequencing, PCR, transformation, and transfection.
Application
Features and Benefits
- From harvested bacterial culture to pure plasmid DNA in 30 minutes or less
- Up to 1.2 mg of high-copy plasmid DNA
- Flexibility of a vacuum or spin format
- Contains fewer plastic components than other high speed kits, reducing the amount of waste
- No phenol/chloroform extraction or alcohol precipitation required

Protocols
Follow this simple, rapid, and cost-effective method for isolating plasmid DNA from recombinant E. coli cultures with the GenElute™ HP Plasmid Maxiprep kit.

Do the binding columns fit on other manufacturers’ manifolds?

How do the GenElute HP Plasmid Kits differ from other plasmid purification systems?
1 answer-
The GenElute HP Plasmid Kits are much faster than other commercially available kits. A filter syringe is used for preparing the cleared lysate, which replaces a lengthy centrifugation step. These kits also offer the option of using a vacuum or spin purification format rather than a gravity drip to bind, wash and elute the plasmid. In addition, samples are eluted in Tris buffer so there are no alcohol precipitations required.

Which format gives a better yield, vacuum or spin?
1 answer-
There is no difference in plasmid recovery when using either format.

-
Is plasmid DNA isolated with this kit suitable for use in transfection?
1 answer-
Yes. However, if you are currently required to use an endofree plasmid purification kit, we recommend using the GenElute HP Endotoxin-free Kit.

-
How long does it take to isolate plasmid using the vacuum format?
1 answer-
A midiprep or maxiprep requires only 30 minutes to complete.

-
What is the expected yield of plasmid DNA that you can isolate from these kits?
1 answer-
Yields can reach as high as 350 mg for a midiprep and 1.2 mg for a maxiprep. As with any protocol, lower yields can be expected with low copy plasmids.
