Product Description
The Zymo Research DNA Clean & Concentrator™-100 D4029 is a 25-preparation large-capacity DNA cleanup and concentration kit — designed for the rapid desalting and purification of up to 100µg of high-quality DNA from PCR, large format restriction endonuclease digestions, or cell-free lysates. Supplied with the unique Zymo-Spin™ V Column with Reservoir — a large-format spin column with an integrated reservoir that accommodates sample volumes up to 15mL for loading without requiring multiple reload steps. Simple, rapid recovery of ultra-pure DNA from PCR, endonuclease digestions, and cell-free DNA preps. Unique column construction allows sample loading and washing to be performed using a centrifuge, microcentrifuge, vacuum source, or syringe. Eluted DNA is well suited for use in PCR, DNA sequencing, DNA ligation, endonuclease digestion, RNA transcription, radiolabeling. 25 preparations. Catalog # D4029. The 50-preparation version is available as D4030.
The DCC-100 — Built for Large-Scale DNA Cleanup The DNA Clean & Concentrator™-100 occupies a critical and distinct position in the Zymo Research DCC family — designed specifically for large-scale DNA purification where the standard DCC-5 (up to 5µg) or DCC-25 (up to 25µg) formats are insufficient. Understanding when the DCC-100 is the right choice:
| Kit | Max DNA | Elution Vol. | Best For | Cat. # |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DCC-5 | 5µg | ≥6µL | PCR cleanup, small reactions | D4003/D4013 |
| DCC-25 | 25µg | ≥25µL | Mid-scale reactions | D4005 |
| DCC-100 | 100µg | ≥150µL | Large-scale PCR, restriction digests, cell-free lysates | D4029 |
| DCC-500 | 500µg | ≥1mL | Preparative-scale purification | D4031 |

Zymo-Spin™ V Column with Reservoir — Large-Volume Sample Loading The Zymo-Spin™ V Column with Reservoir is the defining hardware innovation of the DCC-100. The maximum capacity of the Reservoir is 15mL. The integrated reservoir allows direct loading of sample-buffer mixtures up to 15mL per load without requiring multiple centrifugation cycles to load the full sample — dramatically simplifying the loading step for large-volume samples such as large-scale PCR reaction pools, large restriction digest volumes, and cell-free lysate preparations. The column can also be loaded using a vacuum source or syringe — providing flexibility for labs with vacuum manifolds or those working without a centrifuge large enough for the column format.
Up to 100µg DNA per Prep — Large-Scale Purification Capacity Typically, ≤100µg total DNA can be eluted with ≥150µl of low salt DNA Elution Buffer or water. The 100µg binding capacity of the D4029 is 20× the capacity of the standard DCC-5 (5µg) — making it the appropriate choice for large PCR reaction pools, scale-up experiments, preparative restriction digests, and any workflow where the total DNA mass exceeds what smaller DCC formats can accommodate. The 150µL minimum elution volume reflects the larger column matrix volume required to bind and elute 100µg of DNA while maintaining high purity.
DNA Size Range — 50bp to 23kb DNA Size Limits — From ~50bp to 23kb. The DCC-100 recovers DNA fragments from 50bp to 23kb — covering the full range of standard PCR amplicons, restriction digest fragments, genomic DNA fragments, plasmid linearization products, and large DNA constructs used in molecular cloning and genomics workflows.
High Purity DNA — A260/A280 ≥1.8 DNA Purity — High-quality DNA (A260/A280 ≥1.8) ideal for ligation, sequencing, labeling, PCR, microarray, transfection, transformation, and restriction digestion procedures. The consistently high purity of DNA purified with the DCC-100 meets the quality standards required for all major downstream molecular biology applications — including NGS library preparation, Sanger sequencing, and transfection protocols where DNA purity directly affects results.
Multiple Loading Methods — Centrifuge, Vacuum, or Syringe Unique column construction allows sample loading and washing to be performed using a centrifuge, microcentrifuge, vacuum source, or syringe. The flexible loading options of the DCC-100 make it compatible with essentially any laboratory environment — centrifuge users can process columns using standard microcentrifuge or benchtop centrifuge, vacuum manifold users can process multiple columns simultaneously for high-throughput workflows, and syringe users can process columns without any electrical equipment.
Less Than 20 Minutes — Complete Purification The entire DNA purification/concentration procedure typically takes less than 20 minutes. Despite the large DNA mass capacity and large sample volume handling, the DCC-100 protocol completes in under 20 minutes — bind, wash, elute — with no lengthy incubation steps or complex buffer preparation requirements.
Room Temperature Storage — All Kit Components Storage Temperature — Room Temp for all kit components including DNA Binding Buffer, DNA Wash Buffer, DNA Elution Buffer, Zymo-Spin™ V Columns, and Collection Tubes. Note: Ethanol must be added to DNA Wash Buffer concentrate prior to use as indicated on the label.

Compatible Replacement — Cross-Reference Guide
The Zymo Research DNA Clean & Concentrator™-100 D4029 is a comparable alternative to large-capacity DNA cleanup kits from several major manufacturers:
- Qiagen QIAquick PCR Purification Kit (28104) — up to 10µg DNA cleanup (smaller capacity)
- Thermo Fisher GeneJET PCR Purification Kit (K0701) — up to 25µg DNA cleanup
- Monarch PCR & DNA Cleanup Kit NEB (T1030L) — up to 50µg DNA cleanup
- Qiagen MinElute PCR Purification Kit (28004) — up to 5µg DNA cleanup, minimal elution
The D4029 uniquely provides up to 100µg DNA purification capacity — larger than most competing standard PCR cleanup kits. These products may differ in protocol, yield, and performance characteristics.
