A fast way to purify plasmids for transfection—NucleoSpin Plasmid Transfection-grade

A fast way to purify plasmids for transfection that uses a new technology to reduce endotoxin levels.

NucleoSpin Plasmid Transfection-grade is a fast miniprep kit that uses an innovative technology developed by Macherey-Nagel to reduce the level of endotoxins copurified during plasmid preparations from bacterial lysates. Since endotoxins interfere with eukaryotic cell survival, endotoxin reduction is essential prior to cell transfection. Click here to see performance data. A 96-well format is also available.
