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.

Product FAQ
Q1: What is the difference between the ZymoPURE Miniprep Kit and the ZR Plasmid Miniprep – Classic?
The ZymoPURE Miniprep kit utilizes a modified alkaline lysis system in conjunction with a novel binding system. This results in higher yields, higher concentrations, and lower endotoxin levels when compared to the ZR Plasmid Miniprep-Classic.
Q2: Can the kit be used to isolate large constructs (BAC/PAC)?
No, we recommend using our ZR BAC DNA Miniprep Kit (D4048) or ZymoPURE Miniprep Kit for isolating large constructs.
Q3: Can the purified plasmid be transfected into eukaryotic cell lines (i.e. Is it transfection grade)?
Yes, all our plasmid preps have an endo-wash step to remove endotoxins and produce plasmid DNA that is ready for transfection with most cell lines.
Q4: What is the composition of the DNA Elution buffer?
10 mM Tris-HCl, 0.1 mM EDTA, pH 8.5.
Q5: Can I perform the procedure using a vacuum manifold?
Yes, but we recommend performing a dry spin in the microcentrifuge after the last wash step, prior to the elution step.
Q6: I ran out of Plasmid Wash Buffer. Can I substitute it with a homemade solution or Wash Buffer from another kit?
Plasmid Wash Buffer is available for purchase, separately. However, you can substitute with DNA Wash Buffer, Zyppy Wash Buffer, or 80% ethanol.
Q7: What are the endotoxin levels in plasmid DNA isolated using the ZR-Plasmid Miniprep Classic Kit?
= 50 Endotoxin Units/µg of plasmid DNA.
