The Just-a-Plate™ 96 Clone-Screen Kit
is designed and optimized for simple, fast and high-throughput extraction of
plasmid DNA for screening recombinant
bacterial colonies for the presence of target plasmid DNA. Up to 96 DNA samples can be simultaneously extracted
directly from bacterial colonies in a 96-well microplate format in less than 20
minutes. No spin-column, filter plate, silica membrane or magnetic beads are
needed for the isolation and no vacuum and filtration are required in the
process. Based
on charm biotech developed Solid Surface Reversible Binding (SSRB)
technology (patent pending), Just-a-plate system
employs the solid 96-well plate surface coated with proprietary turbo-binders
as selective nucleic acid capturers to efficiently extract plasmid DNA from
bacteria colonies. Plasmid
DNA molecules can specifically interact with the turbo binder in the extraction
buffer, while proteins and other contaminants are not bound and remain in the
solution. After washing the plate with washing buffer to
remove unbound material, the purified Plasmid DNA can be either analysized
directly in the binding plate without elution step or easily eluted in 10 mM
Tris Elution Buffer or water. Without using vacuum, the unique centrifugation-based procedure of the Just-a-plate 96 Plasmid
Purification kit reduced opportunities for cross-contamination between wells.
The plate used in the kit is compatible with a variety of automated liquid
handler, centrifuges robots, pipetting devices and PCR cyclers. The isolated
ready-to-use plasmid DNA is ideal for quick screening of colonies for correct
inserts in cloning and mutagenesis research using restriction enzyme digestion
or colony PCR method. The Just-a-plate 96 Clone-Screen system is the first and only product in
the field providing a convenient platform for plasmid isolation directly from
colonies, and plasmid analysis all in the same plate without sample transfer.
