Why endotoxin-free in plasmid DNA prep?

When we prepare plasmid DNA with some tools like maxi prep., endotoxin-free is very improtant. In terms of transfection efficiency, I guess that LDS may compete with DNA as transfection reagents,...

Why do we use non-endotoxin-free plasmid prep kit?

We mainly use endotoxin-free kit for plasmid preparation due to disturbance of LDS. But there are also non-endotoxin-free kit. Why do we use it? I think that non-endotoxin-free kit is cheaper than...

Does anyone know what might be causing the smeared bands on my western blot?

I got these smeared bands quite often lately. We typically run the gel at 140V with a 10-12% gel and do a wet transfer at 220 mA for 1.5 hr in cold room. We also noticed some dirty spots/dots (see...

I'm optimizing a tetra-ARMS PCR protocol with amplicon sizes: 165bp, 123bp and 93bp. Why, in the gel, only 165bp is visible while I'm expecting all 3?

It's an end-point PCR protocol. I'm using 1.5% agarose gel with SyBR Safe dye and TBE as a running buffer, visualization on BioRad XR+ system. I was primarily thinking of primer efficiency,...
