Bullseye PREMIUM Taq DNA Polymerases

Bullseye Taq DNA Polymerase is a thermostable recombinant DNA polymerase, which exhibits very high activity in primer extension and other molecular biology applications. The enzyme is isolated from Thermus aquaticus and has a molecular weight of approximately 94 kDa.

Bullseye Taq DNA Polymerase has both a 5'®3' DNA polymerase and a 5'®3' exonuclease activity. The enzyme lacks a 3'®5' exonuclease activity (no proofreading ability). Taq DNA Polymerase leaves an A¢ overhang, which makes the enzyme ideal for TA cloning.

IBIs MIDI and MAXI plasmid kits use pre-packed ion-exchange resin columns to purify plasmid or cosmid DNA from bacterial cultures. In the process, the modified alkaline lysis method and RNase treatment are used for creating cleared cell lysate with minimal genomic DNA and RNA contaminants. Using a gravity-flow procedure, the plasmid DNA in crude lystate has been bound to the column. he contaminants can be washed off with a wash buffer. Finally, the purified plasmid DNA is eluted by a high salt buffer and then precipitated with isopropanol for desalting. The entire procedure can be completed in less than 2 hours and the obtained high purity plasmid DNA is suitable for transfection, sequencing reactions, PCR, and in-vitro transcription.

IBI High-Speed Mini Plasmid Kit

The High-Speed Mini Plasmid Kit isolates plasmid DNA from 1-5ml cultures using alkaline lysis and RNase treatment, ensuring minimal genomic DNA/RNA contamination.

Additional Details

The High-Speed Mini Plasmid Kits by IBI Scientific are designed to process a sample size of 1-4 mL of bacterial culture, yielding 20-30 µg for high-copy plasmids and 3-10 µg for low-copy plasmids. With an operation time of 30 minutes or less and a binding capacity of up to 30 µg, these kits offer a rapid and efficient solution for plasmid DNA extraction. Check out our basic guide for plasmid kits for more information.

Technical Details

In the presence of a chaotropic salt, the plasmid DNA in the lysate binds to the glass-fiber matrix in the spin column. The contaminants are washed off with an ethanol-based wash buffer. The purified plasmid DNA is eluted by a low salt elution buffer or water. This procedure does not require DNA phenol extraction or alcohol plasmid. Typical yields are 20-30 µg for high-copy numbered plasmids or 3-10 µg for low-copy numbered plasmids. The purified plasmid DNA is ready to use for restriction enzyme digestion, ligation, PCR, or sequencing reactions. The entire procedure can be completed in under 30 minutes.

Quality Control

The quality of the High-Speed Plasmid Mini Kit is tested on a lot-to-lot basis, by isolating plasmid DNA from a 4 ml overnight E. coli (DH5α) culture, containing plasmid p Bluescript (A600>2U/mL). Following the purification process, a yield of more than 20 µg is expected and the ratio of A260/A280 is between 1.7-1.9. The purified plasmid (1 µg) is used in EcoRI digestion and checked by electrophoresis.

Physical Specifications

The I-Blue MINI Plasmid Kit was designed for rapid isolation of plasmid DNA from 1-7 mL of cultured bacterial cells. I-Blue Lysis Buffer (an optional color indicator) is included with the kit in order to prevent common handling errors, ensuring efficient cell lysis and neutralization. A modified alkaline lysis method and RNase treatment are used to obtain clear cell lysate with minimal genomic DNA and RNA contaminants. Typical yields are 20-35 µg for high-copy number plasmid or 3-10 µg for low-copy number plasmid from 4 mL of cultured bacterial cells. DNA phenol extraction or alcohol precipitation is not required and the entire procedure can be completed within 15 minutes. The purified plasmid DNA is ready for use in restriction enzyme digestion, ligation, PCR, and sequencing reactions.

Kit Components

*For IB47171 and IB47172 add provided RNase A to PD1 Buffer then mix by shaking for a few seconds. Check the box on the bottle. PD1 and RNase A mixture should be stored at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For IB47170 samples, RNase A was already added to PD1.

**If precipitates have formed in PD2 Buffer, warm the buffer in a 37°C water bath, followed by gentle shaking to dissolve.

***Add absolute ethanol (see the bottle label for volume) to Wash Buffer then mix by shaking for a few seconds. Check the box on the bottle. Be sure and close the bottle tightly after each use to avoid ethanol evaporation.

The Fast Ion Plasmid Maxi Kit (Endotoxin Free) uses pre-packed anion exchange resin columns to purify plasmid DNA from 100-250 ml of bacterial cultures. Modified alkaline lysis method (1) and RNase treatment are used for obtaining clear cell lysate with minimal genomic DNA and RNA contaminants. Once the plasmid DNA has been bound to the column, the contaminants can be washed off using the wash buffer. Finally, the purified plasmid DNA is eluted by a high salt buffer and precipitated with isopropanol for desalting. The entire procedure can be completed in 120 minutes and the obtained high purity plasmid DNA is suitable for transfection, sequencing reactions, PCR and in-vitro transcription.

The 96-Well Genomic DNA Kits are designed for high-throughput purification of total DNA (including genomic, mitochondrial and viral DNA) from whole blood and a variety of animal tissues or cells. This method uses Proteinase K and a chaotropic salt to lyse cells and degrade proteins. DNA in the chaotropic salt is bound by the glass fiber matrix of each well. Once any contaminants have been removed, the purified DNA is eluted by a low salt elution buffer or water. The entire procedure can be completed in 1 hour without phenol extraction or alcohol precipitation. These kits can be used for manual filtration or with robotic handling systems, and purified DNA with approximately 20-30kb is suitable for PCR or other enzymatic reactions.

The Genomic DNA Mini Kit for Plants provide a quick and easy method for purifying total DNA (including genomic DNA, mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA) from plant tissue. Samples are disrupted by both grinding in liquid nitrogen and lysis buffer incubation. The lysate is treated with RNase A to degrade RNA and then filtered to remove cell debris and salt precipitates. In the presence of the binding buffer, coupled with chaotropic salt, genomic DNA in the lysate binds to the glass fiber matrix of the spin column. Contaminants are removed using a Wash Buffer (containing ethanol) and the purified genomic DNA is eluted by a low salt Elution Buffer or TE. The procedure does not require DNA phenol extraction or alcohol precipitation, and can be completed in less than 1 hour. The purified genomic DNA is ready for use in PCR, Real-time PCR, Southern Blotting and RFLP.

The Genomic DNA Mini Kit for Tissue was designed specifically for purifying total DNA (including genomic, mitochondrial and viral DNA) from a variety of animal tissue, paraffin-embedded tissue, buccal swab and amniotic fluid. The provided micropestle can efficiently homogenize tissue samples to shorten the time in the Lysis Step. Proteinase K and chaotropic salt are used to lyse cells and degrade protein, allowing DNA to be easily bound by the glass fiber matrix of the spin column. Once any contaminants have been removed, using a Wash Buffer (containing ethanol), the purified DNA is eluted by a low salt Elution Buffer or TE. The entire procedure can be completed within 1 hour without phenol/chloroform extraction or alcohol precipitation. The expected yield of genomic DNA is up to 50µg and the purified DNA (with approximately 20-30 Kb) is suitable for use in PCR or other enzymatic reactions.
