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.

The purified plasmids were transfected into HEK239 cells by lipofection (Lipofectamine 2000) or nucleofection (Lonza), with a >90% transfection ratio in both cases. Survival rates of cells transfected with the eluted DNA were compared to controls containing no added DNA.

Tip for a successful transfection—remove endotoxins!

Endotoxins are copurified during plasmid preparations from bacterial lysates and affect eukaryotic cell survival, ultimately leading to a lower transfection efficiency. Innovative mini-format technology reduces endotoxins in your plasmid prep, leads to more successful transfections, and simplifies your workflow.
