General description

The GenElute HP Plasmid Megaprep Kit offers a simple, rapid, and cost-effective method for isolating plasmid DNA from recombinant E. coli cultures. This high performance kit features vacuum filter units for rapid lysate clearing and for DNA-silica binding. Up to 5 mg of high copy plasmid DNA can be recovered from 200 mL-1.0 L LB medium or 200-600 mL TB medium of E. coli culture in less than 1.5 hours. The actual yield depends on the strain, the plasmid, and the culture medium used.

An overnight recombinant E. coli culture is harvested with 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 then eluted in Elution Solution (Tris-HCl) or water.

The DNA is ready for immediate use in applications such as restriction digest, cloning, sequencing, PCR, and transfection.

Application

GenElute HP Plasmid Megaprep Kit has been used to purify plasmids.
The recovered plasmid DNA is predominately in its supercoiled form. Genomic DNA and RNA are below detectable levels by ethidium bromide stained agarose gel electrophoresis. The DNA is ready for immediate use in downstream applications such as restriction digestion, ligation, sequencing, PCR, transformation, and transfection.
