Consistent and great results.
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Molecular Biology

"Initially, I was using more expensive plasmid prep kits from other manufacturers and someone introduced me to a much more cost-effective zippy kit. I was a bit apprehensive about its yield and quality but decided to give it a try. And you know the results were quite amazing and even better than any other kit I ever used before. It's been 5 years and now I and my whole lab are completely reliant on the Zippy mini prep kit. It never disappointed us. "

Saves so much time! Turns a two day lab into one day lab.
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Education

"I am a high school AP Biology teacher. I have only so much time with my young scientists everyday. The Zyppy Plasmid Miniprep kit gave me an extra day every time I used it. On average we do three or four minipreps every year (per class per year). That equates to about three days for more instruction and more downstream applications for plasmid biology, whether it be additional transformation or restriction analysis. The protocol is very streamlined and easy to understand. My 16 and 17 year old students (and some as young as 15) have no problem completing the protocol and getting reproducible results. I've received nothing but spectacular customer service and I as far as value is concerned, I buy this time and time again."

Error free visualization and easy for research.
Rating: 4.0

  • Application Area:Separate plasmid DNA from E

"The Zyppy™ Plasmid Miniprep kit modified alkaline lysis method that bypasses bacterial culture centrifugation and resuspension steps common to classical plasmid preparation procedures. Simply add the uniquely formulated 7X Lysis Buffer directly to your bacterial culture, neutralize, then purify using our Fast-Spin column technology. Additionally, the innovative colored buffers included in the kit permit error-free visualization identification of complete bacterial cell lysis and neutralization. Our Zyppy™ Plasmid Miniprep Kit is the fastest and simplest method available to efficiently separate plasmid DNA from E. coli. It is a powerful and innovative product."

Remarkable results with high quality and quantity
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Gene cloning

"I have used Qiagen products for more than 20 years. I think that Qiagen is the number one company in terms of quality control. I had a chance to use Zymo columns, and I realized that Zymo is completely compatible with Qiagen. I am really happy with the quality and ease of use. After extraction of DNA quantity is above 100 ng/ul, which is a remarkable outcome. I suggest you use Zymo systems in your lab."

Excellent quality product and great savings for the lab much more so than other brands
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Plasmid DNA extraction

"The kit produces excellent quality and quantity plasmid DNA (even with low copy). Very easy to handle like any other brand. We use it mainly for sequencing. The sequencing results always come out excellent. Never had any problem. Used it for the last 12 years. The best part of it: It is 2 times cheaper than the other brands and still it offers the best quality outcome. I highly recommend for all labs to use it."

Speedy miniprep workout
Rating: 4.3

  • Application Area:Routine plasmid DNA minipreps

"It is a handy miniprep kit with a big accentuation on the speed of processing samples. To me, it has two advantageous: - no need to centrifuge cell pellets as you add lysis buffer directly into the media; - there is something in the neutralization buffer that helps to stick all of the debris together. One disadvantage: as opposed to the Qiagen kit it is sensitive to the amount of cells you use."

Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Purification of bacterial plasmid DNA

"This kit offers great value for money, and gives consistently pure and high quality DNA for each prep. There is little variation between preps, and the DNA is immediately usable for other transformations in the lab. It is also very easy to use, with clear instructions, so it takes a very short time to prep many plasmids."

Incredible - will redefine how I teach biotech in my classroom!
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Education

"I did not purchase this miniprep kit, rather I received it as a sample. I really could not be happier with this kit. Because of it's "Pellet-Free" protocol, it saves me so much time that I could easily get purified plasmids within a 45 minute high school period. This really opens up the possibilities and flexibility for my students and allows them to work closer to their own pace. With traditional miniprep kits, I have to have all 8-10 lab groups be on the same page during the protocol. With Zyppy's fast procedure and reduced spin times, my kids can have freedom to get ahead or take their time to gain a better grasp on the science going on in that tube/column. Ease of use: simple: straightforward protocol After-sales care: had an senior account executive reach out to me the next day to ensure proper address and information. Value: Time is money during a high school lesson. Because I can have my kids get a prep done within ten minutes so they can perform their transformations/restriction digests within a period, I would happily pay the $0.83-$1.30/prep. "

Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Viral research

"This plasmid miniprep kit works great for our lab, we always get great results using this prep kit. These kits always come in on time as well, we have never had any problems with the shipping or storage of this product. I have used these specific kits several times, high yield of results, and very consistent results. We will continue to use and choose these plasmid miniprep kits over others because of the great results, ease of storing and usage, and the value of the product. The Zyppy Plasmid Miniprep Kit is a valuable and non-replicable product for our laboratory."

"Zyppy plasmid mini kit delivers a quick and easy way to isolate plasmid DNA of good quality that is compatible with routine molecular biology application. After using for over 10 years, I can't live without it and have stopped using plasmid mini prep kits from any other supplier. I have not contacted the after sale care team about this product, because it has not given me any problem! highly recommended!"

Good value, consistent results.
Rating: 4.7

  • Application Area:Molecular biology for library fabrication

"Zymo kits have been the most consistent of any brand we've tried. They're also very good value. We like the lack of pelleting cells in the Zyppy kit and proceeding directly to lysis of culture. This saves time and to our surprise, the yield wasn't substantially lower."

Best miniprep kit.
Rating: 5.0

"This kit is quick and simple, and gives good plasmid yields every time. Other cheap kits have extra steps, extra columns, or the column material flakes out and contaminates the preps. The Zymo kit works as well as the expensive kits."

  • Application Area:Undergraduate course based research experience

"I use this product every semester, with 48 sophomore/junior undergraduate students. The students are all able to successfully isolate their individual engineered plasmids, most with high concentrations. I personally have color coded the items in the kit and the instructions associated to help make the instructions more transparent and visible for my novice users to follow."

"I started using Zyppy Plasmid kit from a free sample and I am hooked. It is so fast and easy to use! I have used the ZymoPure miniprep kit as well. Both work well, though Zyppy is faster. I recommend this kit because of its speed. The quality of the DNA plasmids that I recover is also good."

Easy to use, fast, reproducible, and good quality
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Plasmid purification for in vitro studies and cloning

"Have used this product for years. Very easy to use, coloured buffers help to visualize neutralisation, high yield, good reproducibility, plasmids can be used for in vitro studies and for cloning as well, and it works so fast (this parameter is very important for me)! Almost all steps require just 15 seconds of centrifugation – usually, I spin down 4ml of culture and add 500ml of mQ to get 600ml final volume to start plasmid purification."

Quickest and highest recovery - no brainer really.
Rating: 4.3

  • Application Area:Protein expression

"I carried out a comparison against 2 other major brands of plasmid mini prep kit, purifying plasmid from 1ml of pelleted bacteria. The Zyppy kit was the quickest and cheapest per sample (at the time, I haven't compared prices since) of the three. In terms of yield, it also had the highest recovery of our plasmid, which is much larger than average. The kit is simple to use - my only warning being to make sure you add ethanol to the wash buffer when you receive the kit to prevent students using the concentrated solution by mistake. I have no experience of the after sales care."

Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Enzyme engineering

"I appreciate the easy use of the kit and the purity of plasmid DNA after preping out of E. coli cells. Even students can use the kit without anything else than the provided manual and get very good results. I think it would be even a bit better, if there were small symbols or something like that on the coloumns to identify them in the centrifuge without having to write on the very small labelling areas. The numbers given there are very small and not so easy to read (actually I'm not even sure, if they are meant for identification or if they are just remains from the production process)."

Fast kit, reproducible results
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Prepare plasmids for transformation/protein over-expression in E. coli

"We grow a larger overnight culture, then pellet the cells and resuspend in 600 uL to prepare as directed. This does an excellent job of creating high concentration of pure plasmid that reliably works for us in transformation as well as mutagenesis."

Convenient and fast, would like lids though.
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Cloning for protein identification and expression

"The Zyppy Plasmid Miniprep kit was the first kit that I used that has a color indicator added to show when lysis has been fully neutralized. Because of this feature, the quality and yield of the DNA is better than what I experienced in earlier kits from at least 4 other brands. Some steps have been made more convenient, e.g. there is no need to empty the collector tube between the 2 wash steps. These little things make the entire process just that little faster. I don't like that you have to centrifuge the spin columns without a lid. A tip for resuspending the cells: add only 300 uL first, rash the tubes over the top of a tube rack and then add another 300 uL and the 100 uL lysis buffer. The method doesn't work as well with the 600 uL at once."

A consistent mini prep kit for undergraduates and graduates alike.
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Plasmid Isolations

"Ease of Use- I rated this as mainly on my own wet lab experience using Zymo and Qiagen kits and also teaching to undergraduates. Yields from DH5 alpha E coli so far have been in acceptable ranges (100-300 ng/ul , 260/280 ratios near 1.7,1.8). Some optimizations and changes can be made like using water instead of the final elution buffer (for convenience). The kit is easy to show undergraduates and they can perform the mini preps within a week reliably. The color changes are consistent and comparable to other kits in ease. After-Sales Care- I rated this mainly on shipping and ordering. We receive shipments intact and on time when we order from the Zymo site. No shipping issues so far. Value for Money- I rate this mainly on my ordering experience in the lab. The price is comparable to other kits."

Hands down the best miniprep I've ever used... and the yield is anything but mini.
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Plasmid purification for sequencing and transfection

"This prep is super fast, and gives a seriously large amount of transfection-quality DNA from a small culture volume. If I put all the bugs from a 3ml overnight through this kit I've gotten up to 35µg of DNA in a 10 minute prep. I basically don't need any other prep for routine transfections."

Really happy about how efficient is the extraction and the purity of the product.
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Extraction of plasmid DNA

"I got the "Zyppy™ Pasmid Miniprep Kit" to try it out. I must say that Zymo did not fail me, once again! The plasmids that I have extracted were pure and in record time. I know that the price for the kit is very competitive and even more economically friendly. The buffers have normal life span and are kept at room temperature and some are kept at 4 degrees. Neutralization buffer already has RNase inside so you don’t even have to make that post treatment afterwards."

I won't even consider buying another plasmid kit.
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Plasmid minipreps for PCR and cloning.

"This kit is fast, simple and spot-on. We have not had a dud yet that wasn't due to UE (undergraduate error). As a matter of fact, we purchase the kit in the large (400 column) size on a regular basis. The buffers that come with the kit are ample and have a long shelf life. Zymo also helpfully sells the columns separately, so you can get the most value for your money and use all the elements so that nothing goes to waste. On the other hand, you can also buy the buffers separately, so if something mysteriously happens to one of the buffers (as in ending up all over the floor), you can rest easy that you can purchase just the spilled item and not have to buy an entire kit for one component. I've had great results with Zymo technical support and they don't try to upsell you on something that doesn't fit your needs. Oh, yes, and the Miniprep Plasmid Kit is inexpensive (really inexpensive!)."

Rating: 4.7

  • Application Area:Preparation of plasmid DNA from bacterial culture

"The Zyppy™ Plasmid Miniprep Kit is an amazing one, which offers not only high quality plasmid DNA but also good quantity. Most of the time it gave good quality and quantity of DNA and it works better than the Qiagen Miniprep Kit. So the downstream DNA sequencing of the plasmid DNA is very good. Also with this kit the plasmid DNA isolation is very easy with the columns and most importantly I can easily monitor the lysis with the blue dye. Very very important for me is the price is way cheaper than Qiagen Miniprep Kit for the same or better quality plasmid DNA isolation. Our lab saves so much amount of money every month by using this kit. Also the customer care is good in terms of technical support."

Really great- have switched to Zymo for all kits
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:purify plasmid DNA from bacterial culture for sequencing and/or transfection

"The product is easy, reliable and efficient. The cost per column is also significantly better than QIAGEN, although Zymo recently has raised their prices. I like how you can go directly from culture in this kit, although I never use just 600ul (typically I spin 5mL of culture down and resuspend in PBS). "

It's the go-to kit for my lab!
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:purify plasmids, bacterial dna preparation

"It is easy to use, protocol is direct and easy to follow, and the purification of the plasmids always results in a high quality. Due to the time it takes to use the kit and the ease of instructions I always teach my undergraduate students how to perform MiniPreps using this kit only! It's approachable and quick! Love it!"

Very efficient and easy to use. High quality results obtained reproducibly.
Rating: 4.7

  • Application Area:Miniprep of plasmid isolates

"The Miniprep kit is very user friendly and easy to use. Gave me very high quality results and a pretty good yield of DNA which I easily used for cloning and other downstream applications. The kit is also very less prone to contaminants and involves fewer cumbersome steps as often found in other Miniprep kits. So thank you very much."

"fast, east, good yield."

Review date: 05 Jan 2011 | Zyppy™ Plasmid Miniprep Kit

The Zyppy™ Plasmid Miniprep Kit features a pellet-free modified alkaline lysis method that bypasses bacterial culture centrifugation and resuspension steps common to classical plasmid preparation procedures.

Simply add the uniquely formulated 7X Lysis Buffer directly to your bacterial culture, neutralize, and then purify using the provided Fast-Spin column technology. Additionally, the innovative colored buffers included in the kit permit error-free visualization and identification of complete bacterial cell lysis and neutralization. The Zyppy™ Plasmid Miniprep Kit is the fastest and easiest method available to separate plasmid DNA from E. coli efficiently.

The plasmid DNA is of the highest quality, endotoxin-free, and is well suited for use in transfection, bacterial transformation, restriction endonuclease digestion, DNA ligation, PCR, transcription, sequencing, and other sensitive downstream applications.
