FAQ-3299
3299-Can Buffer ER from the Endofree Plasmid kits be used instead of the Buffer ETR in QIAGEN Plasmid Plus kits?
No, the two buffers cannot be interchanged. The QIAGEN Plasmid Plus chemistry is not compatible with Buffer ER from the Endofree Plasmid kits.

QIAGEN Plasmid Plus Kits
The QIAGEN Plasmid Plus Kits enable ultrafast, large-scale purification of up to 10 mg of highly pure plasmid DNA. The use of a vacuum manifold allows purification of up to 24 samples in parallel, reducing hands-on time. Low elution volumes yield highly concentrated plasmid DNA for direct use without ethanol precipitation. The QIAGEN Plasmid Plus Kits also feature a dedicated wash buffer for endotoxin reduction. The plasmid DNA obtained is highly suitable for a multitude of applications, including transfection into sensitive cell lines.
For optimal results it is recommended to use this product together with QIAvac 24 Plus.

QIAGEN Plasmid Plus 96 Kits
QIAGEN Plasmid Plus 96 Kits provide a unique method for plasmid preparation in 96-well format. Samples can be conveniently processed using the QIAvac 96 and/or a centrifuge or automated on the BioRobot Universal System. Proprietary binding chemistry allows up to 50 µg of transfection-grade plasmid DNA per well to be obtained from up to 5 ml of an E. coli culture. Endotoxin levels are reduced to levels below 1 EU/µg DNA due to a dedicated endotoxin reduction buffer.For optimal results it is recommended to use this product together with QIAvac 96.
EndoFree Plasmid Kits
EndoFree Plasmid Kits provide anion-exchange-based endotoxin-free plasmid DNA purification. QIAfilter Cartridges enable fast lysate clearing by filtration. The purified DNA exceeds the purity obtained by 2 x CsCl gradient centrifugation and is suitable for advanced transfection-grade applications. The EndoFree Plasmid Buffer Set can be used for preparations of 10 mega or 5 giga transfection-grade plasmid or cosmid DNA preparations.
The Buffer ER in EndoFree Plasmid Kits has been updated to exclude Triton™ X-114, ensuring REACH compliance and even lower endotoxin levels (<0.04 EU/μg) in line with FDA vaccine standards. The improved buffer reduces incubation time from 30 minutes on ice to just 5 minutes at room temperature.*
*Please note: This update includes adjusted Buffer ER volumes and revised incubation times in the protocol.
