In our lab we routinely perform molecular cloning to generate TCR constructs for lentiviral expression. In this process we use the Qiagen mini prep kit to isolate plasmid DNA from bacterial cultures. We then send these plasmids for sequencing to confirm the DNA sequence. We selected this product because of the straight forward protocol and short processing time. We have been using this kit for many years.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Isolation of plasmid DNA from bacterial cultures

Starting Material

Bacterial culture (3ml)

Protocol Overview

Bacterial culture is collected, lysed and cleared by centrifugation. Cleared lysate is applied to a column and centrifugated. The flow through is discarded and the column washed with was buffer. DNA is eluted wit ha small volume of elution buffer.

Tips

Follow the straightforward protocol

Results Summary

We get reliably good quality DNA and high yields.
