Large-scale plasmid isolation in mega and giga formats
Invitrogen PureLink HiPure Expi Plasmid Purification Kits use a novel, proprietary anion-exchange resin to purify the highest levels of transfection-grade plasmid DNA. The enhanced resin combines large capacity with fast flow rate, high resolution, and efficient endotoxin removal. Plasmid isolations are typically completed in around 90 minutes, with purity equal to that obtained with cesium chloride (CsCl) gradients. PureLink HiPure ExpiPlasmidPurification Kits are offered in both mega and giga formats, providing you the quickest process for obtaining the highest amount of transfection-grade plasmid DNA.
PureLink HiPure Expi Plasmid Megaprep Kit
The PureLink HiPure Expi Plasmid Megaprep Kit includes vacuum filtration columns that provide bacterial filtration without centrifugation, enabling extremely fast process times. The kit typically isolates 4 mg of high-quality, ultrapure plasmid DNA with inherently low endotoxin levels from 500 mL of bacterial culture. Advantages of the kit include:
- High yield–isolate over 5 mg of high-quality plasmid DNA from a single purification using 1 L of bacterial culture
- Purity–inherently low endotoxin levels (typically 0.1–1.0 EU/µg), and A260/A280 >1.8, making it ideal for mammalian cell transfection
- Simplicity and speed–with the vacuum-assisted protocol, typical plasmid isolation takes only 90 minutes to complete

Isolate transfection-grade plasmid DNA in as little as 90 minutes with the PureLink HiPure Expi Plasmid Megaprep Kit.
PureLink HiPure Expi Plasmid Gigaprep Kit
The PureLink HiPure Expi Plasmid Gigaprep Kit includes vacuum filtration columns that provide bacterial filtration without centrifugation, enabling extremely fast process times. The kit typically isolates 12 mg of high-quality, ultrapure plasmid DNA with inherently low endotoxin levels from 2.5 L of bacterial culture. Advantages of the kit include:
- High yield–isolate up to 14 mg of high-quality plasmid DNA from a single purification using 5 L of bacterial culture
- Purity–inherently low endotoxin levels (typically 0.1–1.0 EU/µg) and A260/A280 >1.8, making it ideal for mammalian cell transfection
- Simplicity and speed–with the vacuum-assisted protocol, typical plasmid isolation takes only 90 minutes to complete
PureLink HiPure Expi advanced anion exchange technology
Figure 1. The PureLink HiPure Expi Plasmid Megaprep Kit’s advanced anion exchange technology produces superior yields of ultrapure DNA. Comparison of the total plasmid yields of pcDNA 3.3 purified using our PureLink HiPure Expi Plasmid Megaprep Kit or Competitor Q’s megaprep kit with increasing bacterial culture volumes.
Figure 2. Plasmid purification kit yields transfection-quality DNA that provides excellent compatibility with the Gibco Expi293 Expression System. The graph shows expression levels of pcDNA 3.3-erythropoietin (EPO) via the Expi293 system after isolation of the source DNA with the PureLink HiPure Expi Plasmid Megaprep Kit or Competitor Q’s megaprep kit.
Figure 3. PureLink HiPure Expi kits enable superior yields of ultrapure, transfection-quality plasmid DNA in less time. The combination of advanced anion-exchange technology and vacuum assistance used with PureLink HiPure Expi plasmid prep kits dramatically reduces overall protocol time compared to Competitor Q’s kits.
