Company:

Promega

Product Name:

Pure Yield Plasmid Mini Prep Kit

Catalog Number:

A1223

Our lab work is mostly focused on lineage tracing of cancer cells. We use Promega’s mini prep kit for various plasmid DNA preparations for cloning as well as transfection. This Procedure is very simple, requires much less time, and is easy to adopt for the trainee students. We found the quality of DNA to be as good as Qiagen’s mini prep kit.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Plasmid DNA isolation and transfection

Starting Material

Plasmid DNA

Protocol Overview

It is very important to avoid using more than 5 ml of culture for high copy plasmids. Using pre heated (55C) water yields a higher number of plasmids. Typically I used get 6-8ug of plasmid DNA (13kb size).

Tips

Avoid overgrown culture

Results Summary

Obtained high quality lenti viral plasmids for tranfection into mammalian cells.
