"This is the fastest plasmid purification prep kit I have ever used; even without the vacuum manifold. The price is identical to more well-known companies' but the convenience and speed make the switch worth it."

Overall good. But definitely needs improvement.
Application Area:Antibody and vaccine development
"It's easy to use, fast and convenient. The plasmid yield is higher than the "Q" brand. However the product seems to have some quality control issues. There is probably 50% of chance that the buffer may leak from the connection between the adapter and filter column. The yield also may vary due to the bad QC of filter columns. We tried to raise these issues to the manufacturer, but the tech support always blamed us for our not following the manual and variations among different samples. We did follow the manual. We even tested the columns by splitting one culture and passing it through two columns in the same batch; they still gave very different yields. Not to mention the leak."

Great result!
Application Area:Extract plasmids
"This is the best midiprep that I have tried. This kit gives a high amount of clean plasmid. Those clean plasmids have very nice performance in protoplast transfection. I achieved high quality and reproducible results. I will keep using it and highly recommend it."

Fast kit with good DNA yields.
Application Area:Purification of phagemid from E. coli strains
"This kit has been working great for me in terms of yield and quality of the phagemid DNA. It is fast and easy to use. My only comment is that sometimes it takes a long time to process the samples on the vacuum manifold. In a couple cases, the columns clogged or were very slow to clear, but they did eventually and I still had a good yield for DNA."

"I used this kit for extracting plasmid for transient expression in protoplasts. It yielded up to 250 ug of plasmid DNA from high copy plasmids while ~250-1000 ng for low copy plasmids. Resulting plasmids had high purity even without the use of optional filter."

High concentration and purified DNA.
Application Area:Preparing DNA for mammalian cell transfection
"The product is extremely straightforward to use, with simple to follow instructions and clear color changes to indicate the completion of each step. The DNA yield is always high (several ug/nL with an elution volume of 75 nL) with great purity. My cells have never suffered from endotoxins as a result of DNA prepared from this kit. The vacuum manifold greatly increases throughput and efficiency of use."

"Great kit for producing very clean, high quality DNA. The yield is so high that I typically use this, instead of a Maxi-prep. Fast, easy, minimal hands on time, what more could you want? From start to finish, it typically takes less than 30 min. I haven't gotten it down to 18 min like the advertisement, but our in house vacuum is pretty weak, so the column loading is slower than average."

Best midi prep kit I used, than high name competitors like Q.
Application Area:Plasmid obtention for transfection
"This kit is really better than one from a great competitor (Q), which even more cited in publications, is giving worse results in transfection. The midi prep is really easy to do, you don't need additional instruments, other than the ones used in routine mol biol labs. However, after sales care is medium, as I didn't get a reply to one of my questions. But, is worth value to get this kit rather to other for transfection in drosophila lines!!"

ZymoPURE ™ Plasmid Isolation kits provide the fastest and simplest method available to efficiently isolate transfection quality plasmid DNA from E. coli. The ZymoPURE ™ Plasmid Midiprep kit features a spin column-based method for the purification of up to 300 µg of high-quality plasmid DNA in less than 18 minutes. The eluted plasmid DNA is ready for immediate use, avoiding the need for subsequent precipitation steps.
ZymoPURE ™ technology uses a modified alkaline lysis method and features novel binding chemistry that yields highly concentrated plasmid DNA (up to 3 µg/µl) directly from a spin column. The wash regimen has been optimized to ensure the plasmid DNA is free of endotoxins, salt, protein, and RNA resulting in plasmid DNA suitable for sensitive applications including transfection, plasmid-mediated gene silencing, cloning, and sequencing.
As an added convenience, the ZymoPURE ™ Plasmid Midiprep contains colored buffers that permit error-free visualization and identification of complete bacterial cell lysis and neutralization. Syringe filters are included for rapid clearing of the lysate and the unique spin-column design allows the binding step to be performed using a vacuum or table top centrifuge.
