Plasmid Purification

The Monarch Plasmid Miniprep Kit is a rapid and reliable method for the purification of high quality plasmid DNA from bacterial cultures. This method employs standard cell resuspension, alkaline lysis, and neutralization steps, with the additional benefit of color indicators at certain steps to easily monitor completion. Unique wash buffers ensure that salts, proteins, RNA and other cellular components are removed, allowing for the elution of concentrated, highly pure DNA. Elution in as little as 30 µl provides concentrated DNA for use in downstream applications, such as restriction enzyme digestion, DNA sequencing, PCR, other enzymatic manipulations and transfection of robust cell lines.
