Enhancing Elution of Plasmid DNA

An improved chromatography membrane elution method helps scientists achieve higher yields of pure plasmid DNA.

Share

Plasmid DNA (pDNA) is a fundamental starting material for therapeutic development, including for viral vectors, mRNA therapies, and DNA vaccines. Researchers use capture methods such as anion exchange chromatography to prepare high quality pDNA for a range of applications, but it can be difficult to elute plasmid from chromatographic sorbents to achieve sufficient yield. A new plasmid elution method employs arginine and urea to achieve pDNA recovery yields of greater than 90 percent from Mustang™ Q chromatography membrane.

Why Do We Feel Butterflies in the Stomach?

These fluttering sensations are the brain’s reaction to certain emotions, which can be amplified or soothed by the gut’s own “bugs".
