A solution containing plasmid DNA, saturating amounts of ethidium bromide, and CsCl (44% w/v) is layered between two solutions of lesser (35% w/v CsCl) and greater density (59% w/v CsCl). During centrifugation to equilibrium, the closed circular plasmid DNA and linear DNAs form bands at different densities. - [Read Purification of Closed Circular DNA by Equilibrium Centrifugation in CsCl-Ethidium Bromide Gradient]
Solutions containing plasmid DNA are adjusted to a density of 1.55 g/ml with solid CsCl. The intercalating dye, ethidium bromide, which binds differentially to closed circular and linear DNAs, is then added to a concentration of 200 mu;g/ml. During centrifugation to equilibrium, the closed circular DNA and linear DNAs form bands at different densities. - [Read Purification of Closed Circular DNA by Equilibrium Centrifugation in CsCl-Ethidium Bromide Gradients]
