GENOMEWEB: Empirical Bioscience’s New EB Pure Plasmid Mini-Prep Kit Offers High-Quality DNA in 30 Minutes or Less
Empirical Bioscience has announced the launch of its new EB Pure Plasmid Mini-Prep Kit, which combines the firm’s High-Bind technology with alkaline-SDS lysis of bacterial cells. The kit’s High-Bind technology reversibly binds DNA or RNA under optimized conditions, removing proteins and other contaminants. The kit requires one to five milliliters of bacterial culture and delivers results in less than 30 minutes. It also isolates high-quality plasma or cosmid DNA for extraction up to 10 kilobases and yields up to 20 micrograms per preparation, the firm said.
