Introduction
Porton Advanced has developed plasmid DNA preparation services, designed to provide rapid and cost-efficient delivery of high-quality DNAs. Our plasmid preparation services cover a broad spectrum, accommodating both scientific researchers and industrial clients, with quantities ranging from micrograms to grams. Our offerings not only to research-oriented projects but also extend to manufacturing GMP-like and GMP-grade plasmid DNAs suitable for preclinical and clinical applications. With a commitment to excellence, we are proud to meet the diverse needs of our customers in the academic, biotech, and pharmaceutical communities.

Workflow (Maxiprep)
Day 1-2 | Plasmid transformation into E.coli and bacterial fluids preparation for plasmid extraction |
Day 3 | Extraction and purfication of plasmid |
Day 4-5 | Quality control |
Quality Control (QC)
Our comprehensive quality control (QC) for plasmid DNAs includes DNA quantification, A260/280 and A260/230 measurements, restriction enzyme digestion, Sanger sequencing. For Maxiprep and above, our plasmid preparation services can achieve higher supercoiled content (90% ± 10%) with lower endotoxin levels (<0.01 EU/μg). Additionally, we offer animal-free plasmid preparation upon request.
Deliverables
- Plasmid DNAs
- Certificate of Analysis (CoA)
Storage Condition
Our plasmid DNAs can be formulated in either 1 × TE buffer or ultra-purified H₂O. Formulated plasmid DNAs can be stored at -80°C for a period of 12-24 months without compromising plasmid DNA quality.
