Choice of Starting Material
DNA
Transformation provided as a service*
Glycerol Stock
Provide 200 μL frozen stock
Bacterial Colony
Please provide fresh colonies (<3 days old)
*For DNA samples, Azenta Life Sciences, formerly GENEWIZ provides multiple host strains to choose from for transformation. For custom strains, please provide the starting material as bacterial colony or clonal glycerol stock, or select “Other” for host strain when placing your order and include the competent cells with your DNA submission.
Tech Note | Optimizing Plasmid Preparation to Increase Yield and Reduce Endotoxins
Plasmid DNA (pDNA) is vital for a range of biopharmaceutical and biotechnological applications but maximizing yield while minimizing endotoxins can be challenging. This tech note explores strategies to optimize bacterial growth conditions, enhance lysis, and refine purification protocols to boost pDNA yield and purity, ensuring consistent, high-quality results.
HOW TO ORDER
direct-sequencing templates are not available for our Same Day service.
