Product Description
The Zymo Research D4202 ZymoPURE II™ Plasmid Maxiprep Kit is the fastest and simplest plasmid maxiprep kit available, delivering up to 3 mg of transfection-grade, endotoxin-free plasmid DNA from up to 150 mL of E. coli culture in under 18 minutes. The D4202 is the 10-prep version of the ZymoPURE II — ideal for labs running occasional maxipreps or evaluating the kit before committing to a larger quantity. Designed for demanding applications including transfection, CRISPR, lentiviral vector production, and in vivo studies, the ZymoPURE II sets a new standard for speed, yield, and DNA purity at the maxiprep scale.
Patented Binding System — Faster, Higher Yields Unlike traditional gravity-flow maxiprep columns, the ZymoPURE II uses a patented binding chemistry in combination with modified alkaline lysis to dramatically accelerate processing. Plasmid DNA binds rapidly to the Zymo-Spin™ V-PX Column using either vacuum or centrifugation — eliminating the slow gravity flow step that makes conventional maxipreps so time-consuming. There is no alcohol precipitation step required, and elution is performed directly into a microcentrifuge tube for immediate use.
Highly Concentrated, Transfection-Ready DNA The ZymoPURE II delivers highly concentrated plasmid DNA — up to 6 µg/µL directly from the spin column — with typical purity of A260/280 ≥ 1.8 and A260/230 ≥ 2.0. Endotoxin levels are ≤ 0.025 EU/µg, making the eluted DNA suitable for the most sensitive downstream applications including primary cell transfection, stem cell work, lentivirus and AAV production, and in vivo delivery.
Color-Coded Buffers for Error-Free Processing The ZymoPURE II Plasmid Maxiprep kit contains color-coded buffers (Red, Blue, Yellow) that allow error-free visualization and identification of complete bacterial cell lysis and neutralization — a practical safeguard that eliminates a common source of failed preps, particularly valuable for less experienced users or high-throughput environments.
