Milligram scale parallel purification of plasmid DNA using anion-exchange membrane capsules and a multi-channel peristaltic pump

• A parallel chromatog. procedure for the purifn. of milligram amts. of plasmid DNA was developed. Initial studies showed that ion-exchange membrane capsules displayed high capacity for plasmid DNA. Interestingly, a weak anion exchanger (DEAE) proved to be superior to the strong quaternary ammonium group with respect to elution and regeneration properties and the 75 cm2 Sartobind D membrane capsule (MA75D, Sartorius) was selected for further studies. A method for reducing endotoxin levels by using CTAB as a precipitant was optimized. By introducing this step into the protocol, endotoxin levels could be reduced approx. 100-fold to ≤5 EU/mg plasmid. The parallel procedure was set up on a multi-channel peristaltic pump and evaluated with four different vectors (2.7-11.5 kbp). Starting with 5-10 g of E. coli cell paste (wet wt.) generally satd. the membrane adsorber, resulting in plasmid DNA yields close to 10 mg. [on SciFinder(R)]
