Purity of plasmid DNA Where do plasmid DNA impurities derive from? Salts derived from purification procedures as well as proteins from the bacterial cells can lead to plasmid DNA contamination and poor downstream application results. Salts as well as proteins are efficiently depleted by MACHEREY-NAGEL plasmid purification products. In addition, all our kits for plasmid DNA isolation contain RNase to avoid RNA contamination. However, the majority of impurities in plasmid DNA preparations derive from endotoxins. Endotoxins are lipopolysaccharides from the bacterial cell wall that might be co-purified with the plasmid DNA. MACHEREY-NAGEL provides plasmid isolation products that enable the efficient removal of endotoxins. How do endotoxins affect downstream applications? Endotoxins have cytotoxic effects and negatively influence cell viability and transfection efficiency. Additionally, endotoxins are known to influence gene expression in cell cultures, leading to false results in gene expression analyses. Endotoxin levels are measured by a standardized test, and the measurement unit is EU (endotoxin unit). How to pick the right product? The plasmid purification product that best fits your needs will depend upon your downstream application. Routine molecular biology applications are not influenced by the presence of endotoxins. However, manipulation of standard eukaryotic cell lines such as HeLa or HEK cells require a higher purity. For these applications, we recommend our transfection-grade plasmid DNA isolation kits with endotoxin levels between 1 50 EU/µg DNA. For highly sensitive applications, we recommend our endotoxin-free kits. These applications include the transfection of precious cell lines, such as primary cells, stem cells or cells growing in low numbers. Our endotoxin-free products enable the isolation of plasmid DNA with endotoxin levels below 0.1 EU/µg DNA.

Application Note For over 20 years, the extraction of plasmid DNA has been range of downstream applications, such as sequencing. The part of the daily routine of almost every molecular biology extraction method is based on a modified alkaline lysis laboratory. Plasmids are used to clone and modify genes of procedure in combination with silica membranes, and the kit is interest, as DNA cloned into suitable plasmids can easily be available in 6-well plate or 8-well strip formats. analyzed by restriction digests and sequencing. A more recent application, involving high throughput plasmid purification, is Vacuum-based extraction of either format can be fully the production of plasmids for RNA interference (RNAi) automated on the Freedom EVO platform, and can be set up applications. However, purification of plasmid DNA remains a in a matter of minutes. Considerable walkaway time is gained, time-consuming step in genetic analysis, creating a need for relieving staff from tedious repetitive tasks and allowing them automated high throughput extraction techniques. to perform more highly skilled operations. The procedure reduces the risks commonly associated with automation, such Tecan and MACHEREY-NAGEL have joined forces to provide as sample cross-contamination and carry-over of chemicals, a flexible, fully automated solution for the purification of while avoiding manual errors and achieving maximum plasmid DNA using the Freedom EVO workstation, reproducibility. In addition, full sample tracking further streamlining laboratory workflows and providing reliable, fast improves overall process security. extraction of high purity plasmid DNA. The outstanding purity of the extracted DNA is demonstrated MACHEREY-NAGEL s NucleoSpin 6 Plasmid kit offers fast by an average A260/280 ratio of 1., as well as excellent extraction of high purity plasmid DNA, and is suitable for a full sequencing and restriction digest performance. A 1.5 ml R 1 Flexible and efficient workstations for isolation of DNA have become more important in the past few years in many areas of life sciences, as sample preparation is a time-consuming step in genetic analysis. As a solution to this problem, HAMILTON and MACHEREY-NAGEL have designed and validated the Genomic STARlet for different applications, e.g. plasmid DNA purifcation.

The deck is manually loaded with carriers containing tips, reagents, filter plates and a culture plate or culture tubes with the bacteria samples. A MICROLAB CVS Vacuum module and a HAMILTON Heater Shaker are integrated on the deck. The plate movements as well as the loading and unloading of the vacuum box during the process are performed by the CO-RE Gripper (Figure 1). The Genomic STARlet is controlled by the MICROLAB VENUS ONE software. A dedicated application interface leads the user through the isolation process. Further application relevant parameters (e.g. vacuum settings, filtration times, optional wash step) can easily be adjusted by the user. The four basic steps to purify plasmid DNA are: bacterial cell lysis, bacterial lysate clearing step, DNA binding step, washing steps, and elution of the purified plasmid DNA. The culture plate / or tubes with the pelleted bacterial cells are loaded to the deck; buffer is added to the pellets and bacterial cells are resuspended using the NucleoSpin Plasmid Filter Strips or the NucleoSpin Plasmid Filter Plate - on the MICROLAB CVS. By applying vacuum pressure, the crude bacterial lysates are filtered through the NucleoSpin Filter strips or plate. Cleared lysate is collected directly in the NucleoSpin Plasmid Binding Strips or Plate and after rearrangement of the vacuum manifold, plasmid DNA binds to the silica membrane in a second filtration step. Contaminants are removed in a subsequent washing step. The use of a MN Wash Plate reduces ethanol contamination during the washing steps. The MN Wash Plate is removed by the CO-RE Gripper and the NucleoSpin Plasmid Binding Strips or Plate are dried by applying vacuum. Finally, purified plasmid DNA is eluted in either a standard microtiterplate or in a rack with elution tubes.
