The Mini-Prep 96




The Mini-Prep 96 instrument automatically purify plasmid DNA directly from bacterial culture in just over one hour. The instruments use pre-cast disposable sample cassettes, which fit into an internal electrophoresis processing rig. Each cassette can process up to twelve 2ml or 24 1ml bacterial culture samples. The Mini-Prep 96 processing rig holds two cassettes while the Mini-Prep 96 holds four cassettes. Plasmid DNA obtained from these instruments is highly pure and can be used in most molecular biology processes, including manual and fluorescent automated DNA sequencing and transfection. With high-copy number plasmids, individual sample lanes of cassette typically yield 4-6µg of DNA from 2 mL of culture.

High Purity
Can be used with both automated fluorescent and manual sequencing Cuts to completion with restriction enzymes

NO CENTRIFUGATION STEP
Allows direct loading and processing of up to 96 crude bacterial cultures

CONSISTENT YIELD
Up to 6 µg of plasmid per ml. of culture Fast Up To 96 Minipreps In 1 Hour

USE WITH MULTI-CHANNEL PIPETTES
Cassette lanes have microtiterplate spacing

SMALL BENCH-TOP FOOTPRINT
14" x 20" - Requires minimal bench space

THE MINIPREP 96 CAN ALSO BE USED FOR:
1. Midi scale preps on the same culture
2. Genomic DNA purification
3. PCR Band clean-up to remove primers and unrelated nucleotides

"The automated mini-prep machine made by MacConnell Research is great for increasing throughput in the lad and allows researchers to focus on other task while the DNA is being prepared. The yield and quality of DNA produced from the automated mini-prep machine allow us to go directly to sequencing and /or restriction analysis for quick answers. The mini-prep machine is very reliable and results are quite consistent. MacConnell Research has great people and a pleasure to work with. I would not hesitate to recommend the Mini-Prep 96 machine and MacConnell Research Company to others looking for an automated mini-prep machine."
