Purpose

Ready-to-use, high-purity DNA prep. DNA aliquots are suitable for use in mammalian cell transfections and other molecular biology applications.

Delivery

  • Amount 50 μg
  • Concentration 1 μg/μL
  • Pricing $495 USD
  • Storage 4 ℃ (short-term) or -20 ℃ (long-term)

Terms and Licenses

  • Academic/Nonprofit Terms
  • Industry Terms
    • Not Available to Industry

Quality Control

Every DNA prep is verified by next-generation sequencing, confirming plasmid identity, sequence integrity, and absence of DNA contaminants. Concentration is confirmed to be within ±2.5% of the stated concentration.

Our production process has been validated to consistently yield endotoxin levels below 1.0 EU/μg. Individual lots are not tested for endotoxin.
