Plasmid DNA purification kits
Fast, easy to use, and cost-effective

The PureLink plasmid purification products have been developed to provide the greatest value for your money. With performance meeting or exceeding competitive offerings (Figure 1), and fair pricing, PureLink technology is the clear choice for plasmid purification in research laboratories.
InvitrogenTM PureLinkTM HiPure Expi low-endotoxin plasmid purification kits Fast, easy-to-use protocols, and an anion-exchange resin allow you to purify plasmid DNA at a quality equivalent to that obtained from purifying plasmid DNA by passing it through a cesium chloride gradient twice--one of the most rigorous methods for plasmid purification. In less than 2 hours, plasmid is pure enough for transfections with no need for additional steps to remove contaminants like RNA, proteins, and endotoxins. Additionally, the use of phenol, chloroform, ethidium bromide, and cesium chloride are eliminated, minimizing exposure to and disposal of hazardous materials.

High yield Isolate up to 5 mg (megaprep) and up to 15 mg (gigaprep) of high-quality plasmid DNA from a single purification using 0.5­5 L of bacterial culture.
Purity Achieve inherently low endotoxin levels (typically 0.1­1.0 EU/g), and A260/A280 >1.8, making it ideal for mammalian cell transfection.
Simplicity and speed With the vacuum-assisted protocol, plasmid isolation typically takes only 90 minutes to complete (Figure 2).

Genomic DNA purification kits-- blood and serum samples
Rapid and efficient extraction of genomic DNA from human blood and serum
The emergence of pharmacogenomic centers of excellence has resulted in increasing needs for purification of high-quality genomic DNA from a large of volume of blood. Since samples are collected and shipped worldwide, every sample may differ with regard to storage and shipping conditions. Choosing the right genomic DNA purification kit is important based on your needs and expected end results. We offer a wide range of kits designed to isolate genomic DNA from your blood or serum samples at the purity and scale you need. Figure 5 shows gel image of gDNA purified from whole blood samples using the InvitrogenTM GeneCatcherTM gDNA Blood Kit.

Figure 5. Purification of gDNA from archived whole blood samples using the GeneCatcher gDNA Blood Kit. An 0.8% agarose gel was used to evaluate gDNA extractions from archived whole blood samples (blood samples frozen for >8 years). Blood samples were split into 2 equal aliquots, and gDNA was extracted using the GeneCatcher gDNA Blood Kit and a kit from another supplier G. The GeneCatcher kit extractions employ magnetic beads, while supplier G's kit uses a traditional lysis and DNA precipitation method that has been shown to co-purify agents that are inhibitory to downstream applications.

Plant genomic DNA isolation kits
Successful plant DNA extraction that's easy on you

Plant tissue is difficult enough to work with due to the high levels of polysaccharides and polyphenols present. Therefore, compounding the complexity with tedious, inefficient methods will only prolong the process of isolation. Cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) methods require excessive time and handling, limiting your throughput. Some silica membrane­ and magnetic bead­based protocols don't remove inhibitors inherent in plant samples that can carry over into the final product and interfere with downstream applications. This leads to

frequent sample processing failure, necessitating that you repeat the purification--if you have the time and sample to spare. Now we offer you products specifically designed for easy, high-yield, and high-purity DNA purification from plant samples. Inhibitors are removed for reliable downstream results. Make your DNA isolation from plant samples easier on you and easier on your samples, while achieving high-yield, high-purity results with InvitrogenTM and Applied BiosystemsTM plant molecular biology reagents.

Complete purification system for nucleic acids, proteins, and cells

Successful downstream analysis depends on high-quality, reproducible purification of nucleic acids, proteins, and cells. Thermo ScientificTM KingFisherTM purification systems are designed to deliver high-quality results with minimal hands-on time, automating a significant part of your workflow.
· Choose from five distinct systems to meet your application and throughput needs
· Optimized kits streamline the purification workflow for a wide variety of sample types
· Thermo ScientificTM BindItTM Software enables you to create customized protocols for additional flexibility
· Specially designed consumables allow efficient sample processing

Magnetic separation technology KingFisher systems use permanent magnetic rods and disposable tip combs to collect, transfer, and mix magnetic particles:
1. When the magnetic rod--sheathed inside the tip comb-- is lowered into the solution, magnetic beads collect at the bottom of the tip comb.
2. The tip comb is then positioned in a different row or plate, and the beads are released by moving the magnetic rods out of the tip comb.
3. The tip comb facilitates the mixing of reagents with the beads as the magnetic head moves up and down.

Nucleic acid quantitation
Accurate, sensitive, and specific quantification of DNA and RNA

For nucleic acid quantitation, InvitrogenTM QubitTM technology employs extreme selectivity not possible with absorbance measurements, resulting in accuracy high enough to quantitate even the most dilute or low-abundance samples, while still leaving enough sample for downstream applications (Figure 7).
Benefits of using Qubit technology · Better selectivity and accuracy than absorbance assays
· Effectively quantitates dilute and low-abundance samples
· Available for DNA and RNA samples
Upon binding to nucleic acid, the fluorescence of the Qubit dyes increases several hundred-fold, giving a very high signal-to-noise ratio for exceedingly high sensitivity--up to 1,000 times more sensitive than absorbance readings.

The Qubit 2.0 Fluorometer utilizes specifically designed fluorometric technology using InvitrogenTM dyes that only fluoresce when bound to DNA, RNA, or protein. These fluorescent dyes emit signals only when bound to specific target molecules, even in the presence of free nucleotides or degraded nucleic acids. This specificity allows you to get very accurate results because Qubit technology only reports the concentration of the molecule of interest, not contaminants. Qubit fluorometric quantitation provides exceptionally specific and sensitive DNA and RNA quantitation, even at low concentrations (Figure 8).
Qubit assay kits for the Qubit 2.0 Fluorometer contain reagent, premade calibration standards and premade buffer, and are also available in quantities of 500 assays. Please go to thermofisher.com/qubit for a full product list.

Qubit 2.0 Fluorometer for accurate, precise benchtop quantitation of DNA and RNA Use of the InvitrogenTM QubitTM 2.0 Fluorometer for nucleic acid quantitation is:
· Selective--each Qubit assay kit is highly selective for a single analyte (RNA, DNA, or protein)
· Sensitive--samples with concentrations as low as 10 pg/L of DNA and 12.5 g/mL of protein may be accurately and reliably quantified
· Simple and intuitive--the Qubit 2.0 Fluorometer provides the same high accuracy you've come to expect, but now is even faster and requires less effort to use

Figure 7. InvitrogenTM QubitTM High-Sensitivity and Broad-Range DNA Assay Kits. (A) The Qubit High-Sensitivity DNA Assay Kit and (B) the Qubit Broad-Range DNA Assay Kit have linear detection ranges of 0.2­100 ng and 2­1,000 ng, respectively. Each kit is selective for dsDNA, even in the presence of an equal mass of RNA. The x-axis gives the mass of nucleic acid at a given point when DNA or RNA is assayed alone. In the 1:1 mixture, the total mass of nucleic acid at a given point is double what is stated on the x-axis.

Figure 8. Accuracy and precision of the Qubit 2.0 Fluorometer. Ten replicates of lambda DNA at concentrations of 0.01­10 ng/L were assayed using the InvitrogenTM QubitTM dsDNA HS Assay on the Qubit 2.0 Fluorometer according to the standard kit protocol. The same concentrations of DNA were measured in ten replicates using a Thermo ScientificTM NanoDropTM ND-1000 Spectrophotometer, and results were compared for both accuracy and precision. Each bar represents the average of 10 replicates. Error bars represent the standard deviations of the 10 replicates. The concentrations indicated are those of DNA in the starting samples, before dilution in the InvitrogenTM QubitTM assay tubes.
