Introduction

The HiPure Plasmid EF Maxi Kit combines the power of HiPure technology with Magen’s innovative endotoxin removal technology (ETR) to deliver high-quality plasmid DNA with low endotoxin levels for use in eukaryotic transfection, and in vitro experiments. Up to 1000 µg high copy number plasmid DNA or 200 µg low copy number plasmid DNA can be purified from 150 mL 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 – silica gel column purification is much faster than ion exchange
• High yield – up to 1.5mg plasmid can be binded in one column
• Ultra low endotoxin – content of endotoxin is less than 0.05 EU/μg, which can be directly used for cell transfection and animal injection, etc.

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.
