Thermo Fisher Scientific has introduced the Applied Biosystems MagMAX Pro HT NoSpin Plasmid MiniPrep Kit to address the critical need for rapid and automated plasmid DNA isolation, enabling scientists to conduct small-scale experiments quickly and affordably. 

Designed for workflows requiring high-quality plasmid DNA, the company claims the MagMAX Pro HT NoSpin Kit is one of the fastest plasmid purification kits available. From just 1 milliliter of fresh sample culture, this approach allows for 96 minipreps to be completed in under 35 minutes, including initial set-up, on a Thermo Scientific KingFisher instrument. The kit also integrates effortlessly into high-throughput systems, ensuring scalability from benchtop to large-scale operations.

The new MagMAX Pro HT NoSpin Kit completely eliminates manual and time-consuming steps such as initial cell pelleting and offline lysis, requiring repetitive centrifugation or filtration. 

Furthermore, the MagMAX Pro HT NoSpin Kit uses novel magnetic bead technology and eco-friendly purification chemistry, minimizing reagent waste and costs, making advanced research accessible to more laboratories.

“Laboratories of all sizes are seeking solutions that expedite the pace of research and remove bottlenecks and inefficiencies that impede the development of future therapeutics,” said Kevin Lowitz, vice president, sample preparation, Thermo Fisher Scientific. “By automating the plasmid purification process and requiring only a small amount of overnight culture, we enable scientists to conduct numerous experiments efficiently. This allows them to save valuable time and resources, seamlessly scale up their projects, and advance research more rapidly.”
