Selective partition of plasmid DNA and RNA in aqueous two-phase systems by the addition of neutral salt.

The selective partition of plasmid DNA (pDNA) and RNA in polyethylene glycol (PEG) and di-potassium hydrogen phosphate aqueous two-phase systems (ATPSs) by addition of NaCl salt was studied with pure pDNA and RNA solutions. The pDNA is increasingly excluded from top phases upon the addition of 0.5%...

Luechau, Frank Ling, Tau Chuan Lyddiatt, Andrew The selective partition of plasmid DNA (pDNA) and RNA in polyethylene glycol (PEG) and di-potassium hydrogen phosphate aqueous two-phase systems (ATPSs) by addition of NaCl salt was studied with pure pDNA and RNA solutions.
