Fast, non-toxic, and inexpensive n-butanol preparation of recombinant plasmids

Various commercial and non-commercial plasmid preparation protocols are currently available. However, the kits are expensive and many of the protocols contain toxic chemicals. Here we present a novel, optimized and, therefore, very advantageous plasmid preparation protocol using n-butanol. The prepa...
