Kit | Use | Advantages | Disadvantages | Time | Experience |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Promega Wizard SV miniprep | DNA isolation | Quick | Low yield | ||
Promega PureYield™ Plasmid Miniprep System | High-purity DNA isolation | ||||
Machery-Nagel NucleoBond Xtra Midi (midiprep) | DNA isolation | High yield (~20 ug), pure product. | Slow | 2 d | Yields of 100-140 ng/uL in 200 uL, for a total of about 20 ug. Yield may depend on skill in handling washing and resuspension of DNA pellet. Might be more efficient to do several (~10) parallel minipreps instead? |
Qiaquick gel extraction | DNA extraction from gel | Fast | Impure product | Impurities give absorbption peak at 230 nm in eluted product. | |
Qiaquick PCR purification | Purification of PCR products | Fast | |||
QIAEX II gel extraction | DNA extraction from gel | Higher purity than qiaquick | Slower than Quiaquick | Yield of about 200 ng from ~1.5 ug starting amount of plasmid. | |
QIAGEN PCR Cloningplus Kit | Subcloning (TA cloning) | ? | ? | ? | |
Dongsheng Bio Eco-friendly Plasmid miniprep kit | DNA isolation | ? | - | ||
Dongsheng Bio PCR and DNA Fragment Purification Kit | Purification of PCR fragments | ? | |||
QiaAmp |
Notes:
Promega SV Wizard miniprep:
Qiaquick gel extraction kit:
Qiaex II: Use a thermomixer (high mixing, RPM ~ 500 ) to get constant mixing during incubation.
