Zymo Research - ZymoPURE Plasmid Purification
Simplify the Preparation of Transfection-Grade Plasmid DNA
ZymoPURE Endotoxin-Free Plasmid Purification Kits - Minipreps, Midipreps & Maxipreps
The ZymoPURE plasmid purification kits are the best method for easy and rapid isolation of transfection-grade plasmid DNA in minutes. Plasmid DNA purification using Minipreps, Midipreps and Maxipreps is performed in less than 18 minutes and Gigapreps in 45 minutes. Processing time is reduced by up to 9x using a vacuum manifold or centrifuge. Colored buffers permit error-free visualization and identification of complete bacterial cell lysis and neutralization.
Eluted DNA is free of endotoxins, salt, protein, and RNA, resulting in plasmids that are suitable for use in sensitive applications, including in vivo injections.

Yield and concentration for plasmid DNA isolated using the ZymoPURE II Maxiprep kit compared to two endotoxin-free kits from Supplier Q and Supplier MN. Plasmid DNA (pGL3®) was isolated from 150 ml of JM109 E. coli culture grown overnight following the manufacturer’s suggested protocol (in duplicate). One (1) µl of eluted plasmid DNA was visualized post agarose gel electrophoresis. M, ZR 1 kb DNA Marker (Zymo Research).

Eluted Plasmid DNA is Transfection-Ready

Transfection efficiency of plasmid prepared using ZymoPURE chemistry compared to two popular endotoxin-free kits from Supplier Q and Supplier MN. HeLa cells seeded in a 96-well plate were transfected with 0.2 µg of pGL3® plasmid isolated from an overnight E. coli culture. Luciferase activity was measured after 48 hours.
Superior Transfection Efficiency

Data generated by V.B. at University of Cologne
HeLa Cells seeded in a 6-well plate were transfected with either 2 or 4 µg of pCI-neo®+GFP plasmid isolated from 100 ml of bacteria culture using the ZymoPURE Midiprep Kit, ZymoPURE Maxiprep Kit, or MN Midiprep Kit. GFP expressin was assessed 48 hours later in cell lysates using western blot and Ponceau S staining. The blot was also probed with an antibody against alpha-Tubulin in order to verify equal loading samples.
ZymoPURE's Unrivaled technology vs. Competitor Kits

*Manufacturer’s stated maximum yield
**Defined as < 0.1 EU/µg of plasmid DNA
ZymoPURE plasmid purification kits are the fastest and simplest plasmid purification methods available to efficiently isolate a high yield of transfection-grade plasmid DNA from E. coli in as little as 16 minutes.
