The ChargeSwitch NoSpin Plasmid Micro Kit provides centrifuge-free microprep plasmid purification that is not only ideal for automation but is adaptable to the KingFisher Flex Purification System. The novel NoSpin reagent causes bacterial cell flocculation and allows cells to be pelleted without the need for automation bottlenecks like centrifugation. This kit includes all the necessary reagents for 0.5–1 mL overnight culture samples with a typical yield of up to 5 μg and requires the use of a magnetic accessory or automation system such as the KingFisher Flex system.

• Provides centrifuge-free purification
• Avoids introduction of enzymatic contaminants for better results
• Optimized for automation
• Ideal for use on the KingFisher Flex system

Performance improvements
This ChargeSwitch NoSpin Plasmid Micro Kit workflow has been adapted to the KingFisher Flex system to allow for purification of 96 samples in about half the time it takes to perform manually. The use of this automated platform results in better performance of the workflow for increased yield (3-fold), purity, and integrity (supercoiling increased from 50% to 90%) (see figures).

Contents & Storage

All components of the ChargeSwitch™ NoSpin Plasmid Kits are shipped at room temperature. Upon receipt, store as follows: Store ChargeSwitch™ Precipitation Buffer (N5) at 4°C. Mix the RNase I in ChargeSwitch™ Resuspension Buffer (R4) and store the resulting solution at 4°C. Store all other components at room temperature. All components are guaranteed stable for 6 months if stored properly.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

I used water to elute my plasmid instead of the Elution Buffer with my ChargeSwitch kit, but saw very low plasmid yield. Why is this?

We strongly recommend using the Elution Buffer provided in the kit, and do not recommend elution with water. If you need to elute in any other buffer, be sure to use a buffer of pH 8.5-9.0 for efficient DNA elution.

What is the difference between the ChargeSwitch Pro kit and the Charge-Switch Pro filter kit?

The filter kit is based upon a dual nested column design, which facilitates the fastest and simplest protocol for obtaining high quality plasmid (less than 10 EU/µg DNA). Modified wash buffer 1 removes more endotoxin.

What is the typical yield when using the ChargeSwitch Pro Filter Plasmid Mini or Midi Kits?

The typical yield is 25 µg from a 5 mL culture for the ChargeSwitch Pro mini kit, 200 µg from a 25 mL culture for the midi kit, and 800 µg from a 100 mL culture from the maxi kit. The plasmid size range for the kits is typically 3-9 kb.

How does ChargeSwitch technology work?

Based on a patented switchable chemistry, ChargeSwitch purification utilizes the charge on a solid surface for nucleic acid capture. At lower pH, the surface chemistry holds a positive charge and attracts nucleic acid. At higher pH, the surface chemistry is neutral and any bound nucleic acid is released.

Why can't I dissolve all of my DNA after precipitation?

Sometimes there is insoluble material (probably resin fines) in the precipitated DNA. This material is very easily removed with a 10 second spin. The presence of these particles does not reflect a poor preparation. Once the particles are removed, the DNA performs well in all applications.
