Plasmid isolation from bacterial cultures is one of the most popular techniques in biomedical research and pharmaceutical industries. However, it is common that the isolated plasmid DNA is usually contaminated with varied degrees of host RNA. Plasmid purification is necessary to reduce the impact on downstream applications by removing RNA contamination.
We have developed a simple reagent to completely remove RNA contamination in the isolated plasmid samples using Solid Phase Reversible Immobilization (SPRI) beads. SPRI beads consist of paramagnetic particles coated with carboxyl groups that reversibly bind DNA. Our Plasmid Purification Magnetic Beads (RNA Depletion) combines BioDynami’s proprietary chemistries with the reversible DNA-binding properties of SPRI magnetic beads. The reagent removes RNA and recovers the plasmid in the same step. Moreover, unwanted components such as salts, dNTPs, proteins, enzymes, and other impurities can also be removed simultaneously.
Plasmid can be used for downstream applications such as enzymatic digestion, transformation, transfection and molecular cloning etc. The beads can be an effective and inexpensive reagent for bacterial RNA depletion for routine plasmid purification.
