Plasmid Purification Miniprep Kits

Plasmid miniprep kits contain the necessary reagent sets and supplies for purifying plasmid DNA from bacterial cells for downstream molecular biology applications. Purified plasmid DNA is often used in DNA cloning, DNA libraries, gene expression studies, and DNA sequencing. As the components within the kit are ready to use, miniprep kits are useful for the rapid extraction of DNA starting material in small-scale molecular workflows. Many kits utilize spin columns when separating cellular components; however, vacuum and magnetic-based methods are also available. A variety of kit suppliers are shown below.
