Preserve and Store Bacterial DNA with CloneStable™
CloneStable™ enables the long-term storage of unpurified bacterial plasmid and genomic DNA. DNA recovery is as simple as adding water. CloneStable protects the integrity of bacterial DNA at room temperature.
Features:
Transformation of crude E. coli lysates stabilized in CloneStable™ at room temperature results in colony counts equivalent to freezer controls.
Zero sample degradation means increased reproducibility.
Room temperature storage decreases archive and transport costs.
20 μl of an E. coli overnight culture containing pUC19 plasmids were spotted and dried in CloneStable and stored at room temperature (20 °C) or 50 °C.* A freezer control was stored at -80 °C. After six months, the bacterial lysates and freezer control were r ecovered and transformed.
*Six months at 50 °C represents accelerated aging conditions and is equivalent to 3.5 years’storage at room temperature.
Streamlined clone handling.
Apply bacteria cultures directly to CloneStable; no prior purification needed.
Store samples at room temperature.
Glycerol stocks can be transferred to CloneStable for short-term storage and transport applications.
Add water for rapid and complete sample recovery.
Use hydrated samples directly in downstream applications such as transformation and PCR amplification.
CloneStable™ archives unpurified bacterial plasmid and genomic DNA at room temperature for long-term storage and shipping. Provided as a coating at the bottom of each tube or well, CloneStable is completely dissolvable to ensure total sample recovery.
