Introduction
The RPM Kit delivers up to 20 g of supercoiled plasmid DNA with
minimum effort and time. Multiple samples can be processed rapidly by
using 1.5 ml of bacterial culture. With practice, the procedure can be
completed in less than 12 minutes, yielding pure plasmid DNA suitable for
enzymatic manipulations including DNA sequencing, restriction enzyme
digestion, in vitro transcription1, and PCR2. Reagents and materials supplied
by the user are 100% ethanol, sterile H2O or TE buffer, 1.5 ml microcentrifuge
vials (one for each miniprep), and a microcentrifuge. The reagents and materials
provided with the kit are for research use only.

2

For use of the plasmid DNA for in vitro transcription experiments, addition of RNase
Inhibitor is strongly recommended.
PCR Process is covered by U.S. Patent Numbers 4.683.202 and 4.683.195 issued to
Hoffman & LaRoche Corporation.

Protocol
1.

Spin 1.5 ml of bacterial culture (use Circlegrow media to grow cells


to high density for maximum yield of plasmid DNA) in a
microcentrifuge vial for 30 seconds, remove and discard supernatant. If
use of more than 1.5 ml culture for this miniprep is desired, add more
culture, re-spin, remove and discard supernatant. (Pour off supernatant
and then remove the remaining few microliters with a pipet tip.)

2.

To resuspend the cell pellet, add 50 l Pre-Lysis Buffer and mix by


vortexing or by pipetting up and down until completely suspended.

3.

Add 100 l Alkaline Lysis Solution directly into the cell suspension
and mix by inverting the tube several times. Before proceeding to
step 4, wait 1 minute to allow lysis to complete (solution should be
clear).

This is a critical step in the procedure and affects yield and purity
of the plasmid DNA; the cells must be homogeneously lysed and
some host cells lyse easier than others. For optimum consistency of
lysis from one cell type to another, be certain the Alkaline Lysis
Solution is 22-25C and that the SDS is in solution.
4.

Add 100 l Neutralizing Solution and mix by briefly vortexing. A


white precipitate will form consisting of cell membranes, proteins, and
chromosomal DNA. Spin in a microcentrifuge for 2 minutes to pellet
white precipitate.

4a. Prepare a SPIN Filter for each sample by adding 250 l


GLASSMILK SpinBuffer (mix suspension completely before
each use) to the SPIN Filter chamber and placing it in a
Catch Tube.
4b. Remove supernatant from sample while avoiding white pellet,
and transfer to a prepared SPIN Filter (see step 4a).

5.

Pipet up and down a couple of times to mix and, after 1 minute, spin
for 1 minute to collect liquid in the bottom of the Catch Tube.

6.

Add 350 l Wash Solution (remember to add an equal volume of


ethanol before first use)* to SPIN Filter and spin for 1 minute. Pour
off liquid in collection vial and spin again for 1 minute to drive last of
the liquid out of the SPIN Filter. Transfer SPIN Filter to a new
Catch Tube. Discard other tube.

7.

To elute plasmid DNA from the SPIN Filter, add 50 l of autoclaved


sterile H2O or TE buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 1 mM EDTA),
vortex briefly (no more than half speed) to resuspend GLASSMILK, and
spin for 30 seconds to collect DNA in the bottom of the Catch Tube.
Remove Catch Tube from microcentrifuge; remove and discard
SPIN Filter. Close Catch Tube containing plasmid DNA and store
at +4C or -20C. Note: The yield of plasmid DNA is dependent on the
bacterial host and the plasmid copy number. The plasmid DNA is now
ready for further manipulation.
