26. rials must comply with all appropriate federal state and local regulations If you have any questions concerning the hazards associated with this product please call OriGene at 888 267 4436 OVERVIEW The PowerPrep HP Plasmid Purification Kits use a unique anion exchange resin to purify plasmid DNA to a level equivalent to two passes through CsCl gradients The kits with prefilters add the convenience of an integrated filter unit that allows simultaneous one step lysate clarification and column loading After a modified alkaline SDS procedure to lyse the cells and precipitate the genomic DNA the cleared lysate is passed over a pre packed ion exchange column 1 The negatively charged phosphates on the backbone of the DNA interact with the positive charges on the surface of the resin The temperature salt concentration and pH of the solutions influence binding Under moderate salt conditions plasmid DNA remains bound to the resin while RNA proteins carbohydrates and other impurities are washed off The plasmid DNA is eluted under high salt conditions It is then desalted and concentrated by alcohol precipitation The protocol can be completed in 1 5 to 2 hours These products eliminate the use of hazardous chemicals such as phenol chloroform and ethidium bromide e All types and sizes of plasmid DNA can be purified with the PowerPrep HP Plasmid Purification Kits Please contact Customer Service at custsupport origene com or at 888 26
