Introduction

Welcome to this virtual seminar on PDNA production and its challenges. In this article, we will explore how Unchained Labs' instruments can help overcome these challenges and ensure high-quality PDNA. We will discuss the features and functionalities of Lunatic, a one-step reagent-free solution for PDNA quantification, and Delve into its applications in different stages of the production workflow. With Lunatic and other Unchained Labs instruments, You can optimize your PDNA production process and achieve consistent, reliable results.

Challenges in PDNA production

Producing high-quality plasmid PDNA is a complex process that involves various challenges. These challenges include low yield of plasmid PDNA, purification of contaminants, and achieving the right concentration and viscosity. Addressing these challenges is crucial to ensure the success of PDNA production and downstream applications.

Introducing Lunatic: A Simple Solution for PDNA Quantification

To overcome the challenges in PDNA production, Unchained Labs offers Lunatic, a cutting-edge instrument designed for simple and efficient PDNA quantification. With Lunatic, you can accurately measure PDNA samples using a full UVB spectrum and minimal sample volume. It offers high throughput and a wide concentration range, making it suitable for various applications in PDNA production.

Ensuring PDNA Quality with Lunatic

One of the key factors in PDNA production is ensuring its quality. Lunatic provides valuable insights into PDNA quality by measuring absorbance ratios, which serve as indicators of purity. It can handle samples across a wide dynamic range, eliminating the need for sample dilution. Lunatic also detects and quantifies contaminants, allowing you to identify potential issues in the production process.

Alkaline lysis and Lunatic's role in PDNA isolation

Alkaline lysis is a widely adopted technique for isolating PDNA from bacterial cultures. With Lunatic, you can monitor PDNA during the isolation process, ensuring optimal results. It also helps in detecting contaminants that may be present in the isolated PDNA, providing valuable information for quality control and troubleshooting.

Buffer exchange systems: Unagi and Big Tuna

Bringing PDNA to the desired concentration and adjusting its buffer are essential steps in the production process. Unchained Labs offers two solutions for buffer exchange: Unagi and Big Tuna. Unagi is a benchtop system suitable for handling a smaller number of samples, while Big Tuna is designed for high-throughput applications. Both systems are easy to set up and provide efficient buffer exchange, ensuring PDNA is ready for downstream applications.

Measuring viscosity with Honey Bun

Viscosity plays a crucial role in PDNA production, as high viscosity can lead to filtration issues. Unchained Labs' viscometer, Honey Bun, allows you to measure viscosity quickly and accurately. Honey Bun can handle multiple samples simultaneously and provides information on viscosity, helping you ensure optimal conditions for downstream processes.

Additional support with Stunner

In addition to Lunatic, Unchained Labs offers Stunner, an instrument that combines concentration, purity, and particle size measurements. Stunner utilizes UV-Vis and dynamic light scattering (DLS) technologies to provide comprehensive information about PDNA samples. By detecting aggregates and degraded fragments, Stunner ensures the quality and suitability of PDNA for downstream steps.

Conclusion

PDNA production can be a complex and challenging process. With Unchained Labs' range of instruments, including Lunatic, Stunner, Unagi, Big Tuna, and Honey Bun, you can overcome these challenges and achieve high-quality PDNA. By monitoring and optimizing various parameters throughout the production process, you can ensure consistent results and successful downstream applications.
