Wizard® Plus Megapreps DNA Purification System

Wizard® Plus Megapreps DNA Purification System provides a simple and rapid method for large-scale purifications of plasmid DNA that eliminates the need for cesium chloride:ethidium bromide gradient centrifugation. Use of this system requires only a centrifuge, a vacuum source and a vacuum manifold. The system yields greater than one milligram of high-copy-number plasmid DNA (200–20,000bp) from a 1,000ml culture in less than three hours. The purified DNA is eluted in Nuclease-Free Water (Cat.# P1193) or TE buffer and can be used directly for DNA sequencing and restriction digestion without further manipulation. The...

Wizard® Plus Megapreps DNA Purification System provides a simple and rapid method for large-scale purifications of plasmid DNA that eliminates the need for cesium chloride:ethidium bromide gradient centrifugation. Use of this system requires only a centrifuge, a vacuum source and a vacuum manifold. The system yields greater than one milligram of high-copy-number plasmid DNA (200–20,000bp) from a 1,000ml culture in less than three hours. The purified DNA is eluted in Nuclease-Free Water (Cat.# P1193) or TE buffer and can be used directly for DNA sequencing and restriction digestion without further manipulation. The DNA also can be used for in vitro transcription reactions supplemented with a ribonuclease inhibitor such as Recombinant RNasin® Ribonuclease Inhibitor (Cat.# N2511).

Features - Benefits

• Fast: Rapid batch binding and column washing method used for DNA isolation
• Safe: Eliminates the need for cesium chloride:ethidium bromide gradient centrifugation and does not require organic extractions.
• Reliable: Yields plasmid DNA of comparable quantity and quality to cesium chloride:ethidium bromide gradient techniques that are much more time- and labor-intensive.
• Yield: Each megaprep produces >1mg of DNA from 1,000ml of bacterial culture when using a high-copy-number plasmid.
• Quality: DNA is suitable for restriction enzyme digestions, automated fluorescent DNA sequencing, transformation and subcloning.

Notes

Wizard® Plus Megapreps requires the use of a vacuum source and either a lab-assembled or commercial manifold, such as the Vac-Man® Laboratory Vacuum Manifold (Cat.# A7231) for up to 20 samples or the Vac-Man® Jr. Manifold (Cat.# A7660) for 1 or 2 samples.
