Nucleic Acid Extraction at Every Scale
Whether you need 25 minipreps for cloning verification or 96-well plate purification for high-throughput screening, we carry kits that match your workflow. All kits include complete reagent sets and detailed protocols.
Which extraction method is right for you?
| Method | Scale | Throughput | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Column — Miniprep | 1–5mL culture | 25–50 preps | Routine cloning, sequencing verification |
| Column — Midiprep | 15–25mL culture | 25 preps | Transfection-grade plasmid DNA |
| Column — Maxiprep | 100–200mL culture | 5–10 preps | Large-scale plasmid production |
| Magnetic Bead | 1–5mL culture | 96 preps | High-throughput, automation-compatible |
| DNA/RNA Kit | Various sample types | 50–100 preps | Genomic DNA, total RNA from cells/tissue |
For mammalian cell transfection, choose our endotoxin removal kits. Endotoxin contamination can dramatically reduce transfection efficiency and cell viability. These kits include an additional endotoxin removal step that brings levels below 0.1 EU/µg.
Typical plasmid extraction workflow
Harvest Cells
Pellet bacterial culture by centrifugation. Resuspend in Buffer P1 (resuspension buffer with RNase A).
Lyse & Neutralize
Add Buffer P2 (lysis) and mix gently. Neutralize with Buffer P3 or N3. Clear lysate forms.
Bind & Wash
Apply cleared lysate to column (or magnetic beads). Wash with Buffer PB and QC to remove proteins and contaminants.
Elute
Elute purified plasmid DNA with Buffer QF or water. DNA is ready for downstream applications.
Run out of a single buffer mid-experiment? We sell all extraction buffers individually (P1, P2, P3, N3, PB, QBT, QC, QF, QN, CLY, NLY) in 0.5L and 1L sizes so you don’t have to buy an entire new kit.
Extraction Kit FAQ
Minipreps process 1–5mL of culture and yield 5–20µg of plasmid DNA. Midipreps process 15–25mL and yield 50–100µg. Choose based on how much DNA you need for downstream work.
Our magnetic bead kits and pre-plated formats are designed for robotic liquid handlers. Column-based kits are optimized for manual bench work with a vacuum manifold or centrifuge.
Yes. We offer DNA/RNA extraction kits validated for cannabis plant tissue. Contact us if you need guidance on sample prep for specific cannabis testing workflows.
Typical yields are 5–20µg of high-copy plasmid DNA from 1–5mL of overnight E. coli culture. Actual yield depends on plasmid copy number, strain, and culture conditions.
Yes. All kits include complete reagent sets with all necessary buffers, columns (or beads), and protocols. We also sell individual replacement buffers separately.
