Plasmid DNA Purification Support
Explore the “Getting Started” and “Troubleshooting” sections for solutions to top inquiries and common problems. Browse through the “Guides and Tools” section to access comprehensive product-related support resources.
Getting Started
- What is the best way to determine the quality/purity of my plasmid DNA?
- What are endotoxins and why are their levels important for transfection?
- What are the typical yields for your PureLink® HiPure plasmid kits?
- How does ChargeSwitch® technology work?
- How much E. coli culture can I use when starting my BenchPro® 2100 plasmid purification experiment? Can I use a culture grown in TB?
Troubleshooting
- I’m getting no or low yields from my column-based plasmid purification experiment. What do you suggest I try?
- The plasmid I purified using your column-based plasmid purification kit has contaminating RNA present. What should I do?
- My PureLink® HiPure column is not flowing. What can I do?
- I’m getting low/no yield from my plasmid purification using the BenchPro® 2100 instrument. What am I doing wrong?
- I’m using the BenchPro® 2100 system. What does a “Valve failed vacuum decay test. Unit needs servicing valve=1 or Error Code 52 =1” error message mean? How about “valve=5” or “Error Code 52=29”?
