Product news

Sigma-Aldrich today announced the launch of its GenElute™ HP 96-Well Plasmid Miniprep Kit for DNA purification. The new 96-well kit is suitable for a variety of pharmaceutical and biotechnology research applications, providing rapid purification of plasmid DNA that can generate best-in-class transfection-grade plasmid with the highest viral titers on the market.

Designed to complement Sigma-Aldrich's MISSION® shRNA product line, the GenElute HP 96-Well Plasmid Miniprep Kit is optimized for demanding downstream transfection protocols. GenElute purified plasmid DNA is suitable for a wide variety of molecular biology applications, including cloning, restriction digestion, in-vitro transcription and translation, and sequencing.

Utilizing the GenElute HP 96-Well Plasmid Miniprep Kit, up to 10 micrograms of high-copy plasmid DNA can be recovered per well from 1.3mL of harvested bacterial culture in less than 50 minutes. The competitively-priced kit is compatible with automated liquid handling workstations and offers a vacuum manifold-based manual protocol.

With the GenElute HP 96-Well Plasmid Miniprep Kit, our customers will be able to generate the highest viral titer transfection-grade plasmid DNA in a simple, reproducible manner, said Tim Fleming, Director of Global Commercial Marketing for Life Science at Sigma-Aldrich. This kit extends our GenElute HP product line into the high-throughput plasmid purification market and allows our customers to significantly increase their productivity.

Genome AnalysisGenomics, the study of genomes, includes functional genomics, evolutionary genomics and comparative genomics. There are many genomic technologies such as DNA sequencing of whole genomes, computational biology and bioinformatics. DNA and nucleic acids must be isolated and concentrated from cells for analysis with kits, automated analyzers and software. Other useful technologies for studying genomics include PCR, microarrays and electrophoresis.DNA / RNA Extraction and PurificationPurified DNA and RNA are required for numerous downstream molecular biology applications. Consequently, the importance of high-quality DNA/RNA extraction and purification equipment cannot be underestimated. Many purification kits are available and are typically optimized for nucleic acid type and source, including plasmid DNA, genomic DNA, mRNA, RNA and viral nucleic acid purification kits. Automated extraction and purification of nucleic acids can be implemented with magnetic bead separator instruments or high-throughput purification workstations.
