Plasmid MiniPrep Kit & High Throughput Kit (Magnetic Beads)

The kits were developed for plasmid miniprep directly from bacterial cultures. 100% centrifuge-free; NO vacuum needed; No column needed.

Plasmid MiniPrep Kit (Magnetic Beads), Cat.# 50012
– Use 2 ml of bacteria culture directly

Plasmid MiniPrep High Throughput Kit (Magnetic Beads), Cat.# 50011
– High throughput: Use 0.2 ml of bacteria culture directly with 96-well plates
– Low throughput: Use 0.2 ml of bacteria culture directly with 1.5 ml tubes

The kits can be used for both high copy and low copy numbers of plasmid DNA. With BioDynami’s proprietary magnetic beads technology, the kits eliminate the requirement of centrifuge, vacuum, and column. Our magnetic beads provide a robust and reliable tool for both high throughput and low throughput applications of plasmid DNA isolation with high binding capacity and fast magnetic response time.

The High Through kit (Cat.# 50011) can be used for both high throughput and low throughput extraction of plasmid DNA. Up to 96 samples can be extracted simultaneously when using a 96-well plate.

Yield of plasmid DNA may vary dependent on the bacteria strain, plasmid type, copy numbers, and growth conditions etc. DNA extracted using the kit is suitable for downstream applications such as qPCR, PCR, DNA sequencing, molecular cloning, restriction enzymatic digestion, transfection, and transformation etc. The isolated plasmid DNA with the magnetic beads is free of contaminations such as RNA, bacterial DNA, proteins, and other impurities.

Plasmid DNA were loaded on 1% of agarose gel after extraction.

DBCO-PEG4-Desthiobiotin is a PEG linker containing a desthiobiotin group and a DBCO functional group. Desthiobiotin is used for affinity-based applications such as pull-down assays or for ligating with streptavidin proteins while DBCO is a click chemistry handle that quickly reacts with azide groups on target molecules. Desthiobiotin is a sulfur-free analogue of biotin which binds streptavidin with slightly less strength than biotin, which provides it with a soft-release characteristic that is useful for in pull-down assays by minimizing co-elution with endogenous biotinylated molecules. The inclusion of a PEG linker in this molecule improves its aqueous solubility.

Description 

The ExcelTaq™ 2X Q-PCR Master Mix (SYBR, no ROX) is a ready-to-use reagent with all the essential components for quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) except primers and template. The master mix features high sensitivity and signal intensity as well as low background and better compatibility with cDNA templates derived directly from reverse transcription reaction mixture. The ExcelTaq™ 2X Q-PCR Master Mix (SYBR, no ROX) contains hot-start Taq polymerase in an optimized buffer with dsDNA specific SYBR green fluorescent dye. This master mix allows for sensitive, precise amplification, real-time tracking of the amplification process, and simultaneous quantification for targeted DNA molecules. With inert smart blue contrast dye, the ExcelTaq™ 2X Q-PCR Master Mix (SYBR, no ROX) is ready-to-use and greatly reduces pipetting errors, while largely improving the reproducibility of the process. The ExcelTaq™ 2X Q-PCR Master Mix is also compatible with a ROX reference dye if recommended by the manufacturer of the qPCR system. 

Features

• High sensitivity and signal intensity
• Smart blue contrast dye as a visual aid for reaction setup
• Better compatibility for reverse transcription
• Low background 

Storage 

Protected from light.
Aliquot to avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
-20°C for 12 months
