This document summarizes and compares two plasmid DNA purification kits: the SpinSmart HS Maxi kit and a competitor's kit. The SpinSmart kit offers several advantages, such as being membrane-based, requiring no high speed centrifugation, having a fast and easy 35 minute procedure, providing high yields of up to 1.2 mg of DNA per column, and producing sequencing quality plasmid DNA without needing alcohol precipitation. It is described as the clear choice compared to the competitor's kit.
