Product Description
The Zymo Research DNA Clean & Concentrator™-5 D4014 is the 200-preparation, high-volume PCR purification and DNA cleanup kit with capped Zymo-Spin™ IC Columns — providing purification of up to 5µg DNA from PCR, endonuclease digestions, DNA modification reactions, isotope/fluorescence labeling reactions, and other sources. Clean and concentrate up to 5µg DNA with ≥6µL elution in as little as 2 minutes with 0µL wash residue carryover. Column design allows DNA to be eluted at high concentrations into minimal volumes of water or TE buffer. Eluted DNA is well suited for use in PCR, DNA sequencing, DNA ligation, endonuclease digestion, RNA transcription, radiolabeling, arrays, etc. Supplied with capped Zymo-Spin™ IC Columns. 200 preparations. Catalog # D4014. The 50-prep capped version is D4013. The uncapped column versions are D4003 (50 preps) and D4004 (200 preps).
D4014 vs. D4004 — Capped vs. Uncapped at 200 Preps: The Only Difference The D4014 and D4004 are identical DNA Clean & Concentrator™-5 kits in every way — the column cap is the sole difference:
| D4014 | D4004 | |
|---|---|---|
| Preparations | 200 | 200 |
| Columns | Zymo-Spin™ IC — Capped | Zymo-Spin™ I — Uncapped |
| DNA Capacity | Up to 5µg | Up to 5µg |
| Elution Volume | ≥6µL | ≥6µL |
| Preparation Time | 2 minutes | 2 minutes |
| Best For | Easy cap labeling, added security | Faster processing, high-throughput |
| Kit Contents | Identical | Identical |
The only difference is the cap. Everything else between the columns (max capacity, column matrix, etc.) is the same. Some people like the capped columns for easy labeling or added security while others like the uncapped columns for faster sample processing.
D4014 vs. D4013 — Choosing the Right Kit Size: The D4014 and D4013 are identical capped DCC-5 kits — the number of preparations and reagent volumes are the sole differences:

|---|---|---|
| Preparations | 200 | 50 |
| Columns | Zymo-Spin™ IC (Capped) | Zymo-Spin™ IC (Capped) |
| DNA Binding Buffer | 2×100mL | 50mL |
| DNA Wash Buffer | 24mL | 6mL |
| DNA Elution Buffer | 4mL | 1mL |

Why Choose Capped Columns — The Advantages of the Zymo-Spin™ IC The capped Zymo-Spin™ IC Column of the D4014 provides several practical workflow advantages over uncapped columns — particularly valuable in high-throughput environments where 200 preps are consumed regularly:
- Easy labeling — the flat cap surface provides a dedicated writing area for sample identification directly on the column — especially useful when processing many columns simultaneously and needing to track individual samples
- Added security — the cap prevents accidental column tip contamination during handling, transport between centrifuge and biosafety cabinet, and incubation steps
- Rack stability — capped columns stand upright in standard tube racks without tipping — particularly useful when processing large batches of columns simultaneously
- Elution incubation — the cap allows the elution buffer-loaded column to be inverted briefly if needed to ensure complete matrix hydration before centrifugation
2-Minute DNA Cleanup — The Fastest Spin Column Kit at High Volume Clean and concentrate up to 5µg DNA with ≥6µL elution in as little as 2 minutes with 0µL wash residue carryover. The 2-minute protocol is maintained across all 200 preparations of the D4014 — allowing high-throughput labs to process large batches rapidly and consistently regardless of cap format preference.
≥6µL Minimum Elution — Maximum DNA Concentration The ≥6µL minimum elution volume of the DCC-5 produces the most highly concentrated DNA eluate available from a standard PCR cleanup kit — maintained across all 200 preparations of the D4014. For NGS library preparation, Sanger sequencing, transfection, and single-cell workflows where maximum DNA concentration in minimal volume is critical, the DCC-5 capped column format delivers equivalent concentration performance to the uncapped format.
Zero Buffer Retention — No Wash Residue Carryover Zymo-Spin™ columns are designed for complete elution with no buffer retention or carryover. The zero buffer retention property is maintained in the capped IC column format — eliminating residual wash buffer carryover and downstream enzymatic inhibition across all 200 preparations.
Up to 5µg DNA Per Prep — 70–95% Recovery from 50bp to 10kb ≤5µg total DNA can be recovered. For DNA 50bp to 10kb the recovery is 70–95%. For DNA 11kb to 23kb the recovery is 50–70%. Recovery performance is identical between capped and uncapped DCC-5 column formats — maintained consistently across all 200 preparations of the D4014.
High Purity DNA — A260/A280 ≥1.8 Across All 200 Preps High-quality DNA (A260/A280 ≥1.8) ideal for ligation, sequencing, labeling, PCR, microarray, transfection, transformation, and restriction digestion procedures — maintained consistently across all 200 preparations.
Broad Sample Compatibility The D4014 facilitates removal of DNA polymerases, modifying enzymes, RNA polymerases, ligases, kinases, nucleases, phosphatases, and restriction endonucleases, as well as free dNTPs and their analogs including radiolabeled and fluorescent derivatives. Compatible sources include PCR reactions, restriction digests, modification reactions, NGS library prep steps, bisulfite conversion cleanup, and isotope/fluorescence labeling reactions.
Room Temperature Storage — All Kit Components All kit components stored at room temperature — simplifying storage of the larger D4014 reagent volumes. Note: Ethanol must be added to DNA Wash Buffer concentrate prior to use as indicated on the label.
