Q1: Can E.coli grown in enriched growth media be used with this kit?
Q2: What is the composition of the Zyppy Elution buffer?
10 mM Tris-HCl, 0.1 mM EDTA, pH 8.5.
Q3: Can the purified plasmid be transfected into eukaryotic cell lines?
Yes, all our plasmid preps have an endo-wash step to remove endotoxins and produce plasmid DNA that is ready for transfection with most cell lines.
Q4: Can the Zyppy Plasmid kits be used to isolate large constructs (BAC/PAC)?
No, we recommend using our ZR BAC DNA Miniprep Kit or ZymoPURE II Kits for isolating large constructs.
Q5: What are the endotoxin levels in plasmid DNA isolated with the Zyppy Kits?
≤ 50 Endotoxin Units/µg of plasmid DNA.
Q6: I accidentally left my Neutralization Buffer at room temperature. Will it be okay?
Yes, the RNase A is fairly stable at room temperature, but we recommend placing it in 4°C as soon as possible.
Q7: I ran out of Zyppy Wash Buffer. Can I substitute it with a homemade solution or Wash Buffer from another kit?
Zyppy Wash Buffer is available for purchase, separately. However, you can substitute with DNA Wash Buffer, Plasmid Wash Buffer, or 80% ethanol.
