Introduction

The HiPure FastFilter Plasmid DNA Maxi Kits combine the power of HiPure technology with the time-tested consistency of alkaline-SDS lysis of bacterial cells to deliver high-quality DNA. HiPure DNA columns facilitate the binding, washing and elution steps thus enabling multiple samples to be simultaneously processed. This system also includes a special filter cartridge which replaces the centrifugation step following alkaline lysis. Plasmid DNA purified by this system is suitable for automated fluorescent DNA sequencing, restriction endonuclease digestion, transfection of mammalian cells, and other manipulations. Up to 1000 µg high copy number plasmid DNA or 50-500 µg low copy number plasmid DNA can be purified from 200mL overnight culture.

Principle

The HiPure Plasmid procedure is based on alkaline lysis of bacterial cells followed by adsorption of DNA onto silica in the presence of high salt. The unique silica membrane used in the kit completely replaces glass or silica slurries for plasmid DNA minipreps. The procedure consists of 3 basic steps: Preparation and clearing of a bacterial lysate by alkaline method，then transfer the supernatant to column to bind DNA. After washing proteins and other impurities, nucleic acid was finally eluted with low-salt buffer (10mm Tris, pH9.0, 0.5mm EDTA).

Advantages

• High purity – purified plasmid can be directly used in sequencing, enzyme digestion and PCR, etc.
• Fast – it takes only 15-60 minutes to complete the isolation
• Economy – high cost performance

Storage and Stability

The kit components can be stored dry at room temperature (15-25°C) and are stable for at least 18 months under these conditions. If any precipitates form in the buffers, warm at 37℃ to dissolve. After addition of RNase A, Buffer P1 is stable for 6 months when stored at 2-8°C.
