What is the recommended culture medium for the QIAprep System?
FAQ ID -154
Luria-Bertani (LB) broth is the recommended culture medium for use with
QIAprep Kits, since richer broths such as TB (Terrific Broth) or 2x YT lead to extremely high cell densities, which can overload the purification system. Please review the section 'Culture Media' of Appendix A in the
QIAprep Miniprep Handbook or visit our
Plasmid Resource Center for additional information on optimal plasmid culturing and extraction conditions for all
QIAGEN Plasmid Purification Kits.
