Q: Do you provide Midiprep/Megaprep/Gigaprep service?
No. We only provide Maxiprep Service.
Q: Can you do transformation with our plasmid for Maxiprep service?
Yes we can do transformation with your samples for Maxiprep service if necessary.
Q: What types of samples can we send for Maxiprep service?
We can prep maxipreps from DNA plasmid, glycerol stocks, or colonies on plates.
Q: If we send you colonies on plates, will you be able to return the plates to me when the Maxiprep is complete?
Yes we can send plates back to you upon request.
Q: How much plasmid do you need for Maxiprep service?
Please send us 10-50ul of samples with the concentration of 50-100ng/μl.Please do not send us your plasmids in low volume since they tend to evaporate.
Q: What is the endotoxin level of plasmids prepared from Endotoxin-free Maxiprep?
It will be about <0.05 EU/μg DNA
Q: Which competent cell do you use for Maxiprep service?
