| Genomic DNA Purification Kits |
| |
After pretreatment, which depends on the sample type, chaotropic salt (and Proteinase K where required by the protocol) are used to lyse cells and degrade protein, allowing DNA to be easily bound by the glass fibre matrix. Once any contaminants have been removed, using a Wash Buffer (containing ethanol), the purified DNA is eluted by a low salt Elution Buffer or TE. |

Plasmid Purification Kits
|
| |
The Plasmid DNA Purifcation kits use a modified Alkaline Lysis method and RNase treatment to obtain clear cell lysate with minimal genomic DNA/RNA contaminants. In the presence of chaotropic salt, plasmid DNA in the lysate binds to the glass fibre matrix. Contaminants are removed with a Wash Buffer (containing ethanol) and the purified plasmid DNA is eluted by a low salt Elution Buffer or TE. In the case of the Plasmid Midi and Maxi kits and corresponding Endotoxin Free kits, the Plasmid DNA is bound to an anion exchange resin instead of a glass fibre matrix. Using an efficient gravity-flow procedure, plasmid DNA in the crude lysate is bound to the anion exchange resin in the column and the contaminants are removed with the PW Buffer. The purified plasmid DNA is eluted by a high salt buffer and then precipitated with Isopropanol for desalting. |
