NucleoMag Plasmid
Automated plasmid purification with transfection-grade purity
Plasmid DNA serves as an important tool in genetic research, allowing scientists to manipulate genes for various purposes, understand biological processes, and develop novel therapies. However, the journey to obtain high-quality plasmid DNA can be challenging due to potential contamination and degradation that can compromise the integrity of the genetic material. The NucleoMag Plasmid kit presents an effective solution by simplifying the plasmid isolation process. Utilizing innovative magnetic rod systems, this kit streamlines plasmid DNA extraction while maintaining the purity and efficiency necessary for robust scientific investigations. By automating the isolation process, researchers can achieve consistent results without the need for constant monitoring. This not only saves time but also allows scientists to focus on other essential tasks at the same time.

Application data – Isolation of transfection-grade plasmid DNA
High yields and consistency with automation
Plasmid DNA from 2 mL bacterial cells (E.coli) cultivated in LB medium was isolated using the NucleoMag Plasmid kit. The kit was processed on the MagnetaPure 32 Plus, a magnetic rod system for automated nucleic acid extraction (n=8). Three different vectors were isolated, including pCMV-GFP, pcDNA3.1 and pGEM T-Easy, resulting in high and consistent plasmid DNA yields. Lysate clarification was performed via centrifugation.
Ideal puritiy ratios for your downstream application
Plasmid DNA from 2 mL bacterial cells (E.coli) cultivated in LB medium was isolated using the NucleoMag® Plasmid kit. The kit was processed on the MagnetaPure 32 Plus, a magnetic rod system for automated DNA/RNA extraction (n= 8). Figure A shows A260/A280 purity ratios of high consistency across different vectors and preparations. Figure B displays the purity ratio A260/A230. Results show A260/A230 ratios are consistently ≥ 2.0 for all isolated plasmids. Lysate clarification was performed via centrifugation.

Application data – Comparison with other magnetic bead based plasmid isolation kits
High yields and purities
Plasmid DNA from 1.5 mL bacterial cells (E.coli) cultivated in LB medium was isolated using NucleoMag Plasmid and a magnetic bead based kit from Supplier O. Plasmid isolation was conducted on the IsoPure Mini (n= 4). A pCMV-GFP vector was isolated using the 4 wash step protocol. Lysate clarification was performed via centrifugation for both kits. The figure shows total DNA yields in µg as well as A260/A280 and A260/A230 purity ratios.
NucleoMag Clearing Beads as second processing option
Plasmid DNA from 750 µL bacterial cells (E.coli) cultivated in LB medium was isolated using NucleoMag Plasmid and a magnetic bead based kit from Supplier Z. Plasmid isolation was conducted on IsoPure Mini (n= 4). A pCMV-GFP vector was isolated following each manufacturer’s recommended protocols. Lysate clarification was performed via magnetic beads for both kits. The figure shows total DNA yields in µg as well as A260/A280 and A260/A230 purity ratios.
