Info: Supplier Page 

I do a lot of clonings in my lab as a part of making gene knockouts in bacteria. In this process, I have to make a lot of plasmid preps and this time-saving kit has been useful in accomplishing this task and making my life easy in less than half an hour.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Plasmid DNA isolation

Starting Material

50 ml overnight grown bacterial culture harboring your plasmid of interest.

Tips

Make sure your overnight grown culture has grown to saturation for substantial yields.

Results Summary

I have constructed many E. coli plasmids and shuttle vectors using this kit and have used the purified plasmids to make cell wall hydrolases knockouts in bacteria and characterize them further.
