ZR Plasmid Miniprep – Classic

Easy traditional method for isolating high-quality plasmid DNA from E. coli

Highlights


  • High Purity: Eluted plasmid DNA is high quality, endotoxin-free and ready for all sensitive downstream applications including transfections and sequencing.
  • Colored Buffers: P1, P2, and P3 buffers are colored for easy visualization of complete lysis and neutralization.
  • Unique column design: Zero buffer retention and low (30 µl) elution volume.


Description


The ZR Plasmid Miniprep-Classic is designed for efficient isolation of plasmid DNA from E. coli using a traditional 3-buffer (P1, P2, P3) procedure that is simple, rapid, and reliable. It features a modified alkaline lysis protocol together with Zymo-Spin technology to yield high quality plasmid DNA in minutes. The buffers are color-coded (red, green, yellow) for easy visualization of complete cell lysis and neutralization. The innovative Zymo-Spin llN columns yield transfection-grade plasmid DNA. Plasmid DNA purified using the ZR Plasmid Miniprep-Classic is well suited for use in restriction endonuclease digestion, sequencing, DNA ligation, cloning, PCR, bacterial transformation, transfection, etc.
